Show favorites on Quick Access

It would be a great feature to show the user's favorites on the Quick Access panel. Then you could press your keyboard shortcut and arrow down to the favorite you want to auto type. This was the flow I used to use with KeePassXC and it worked nicely.

Additionally, a button below the favorites to browse the whole list of items would be nice. That way, if you didn't remember what you called something and you pressed the Quick Access key you could scroll and find it.

    So I work in remote desktops a lot. I might be autofilling passwords or logins in Desktop applications inside of a remote session, which is inside of another remote session. So I use the quick access frequently. Thanks for the tip about the favorites. I added it to a macro for my logitech mouse. Previouslly, I was just putting a back slash in the items I would frequently use and I would type my quick access shortcut and then back slash and they would come up. But not always in the same order (I guess based on last used or frequently used).

      Thank for those details! At the moment, Quick Access will try to show items that are relevent to the current screen or app that you're using. I can see how easier access to favourites would be useful and I've shared your request and your use case with the team internally.

    Hi sigmasirrus​! Thanks for writing in.

    Currently Quick Access will show items relevant to the open app, as well as frequently used items. If you'd like to see a list of your favourites, you can type "=favorite" into the Quick Access search bar. 

    That said, I can definitely see the benefit in having a few open to... defaults available for Quick Access, including favourites, as well as an option to scroll through all available items. While I can't say if or when these features might be added, I'd be happy to share your suggestions with the team. To help with the feature request could you share a bit more about how you're using Quick Access day-to-day, and if you're currently doing anything to work around the issues you highlighted?

    Thanks again!
