    Hello!

    I'm happy to share that Safari 26, included with macOS Tahoe, now includes the ability to change browser extension keyboard shortcuts. 🎉

    This means you can change the default shortcut (Command–Shift–X) for opening the 1Password pop-up, in case you already use that combo for something else. Here’s how to set it up:

    1. Update to macOS Tahoe. 
    2. Open Safari.
    3. Click on Safari next to the  Apple logo in the menu bar and then click Settings. 
    4. Click Extensions.
    5. Choose 1Password then scroll down and edit the shortcut.


    I hope that helps!

Thanks Dave.

The point is that 1P had no business approrpriating this command anywhere in the Mac environment, and particularly in a browser, for reasons I’d already mentioned.

So, yes, I suppose that I could reposses this command in other browsers. But I would much prefer that there not be this redundant keyboard shortcut in the browser at all. Safari is my browser of choice these days, and I see no good reason to switch to another browser just because 1P irresponsibly hijacked an important, universal keyboard shortcut for its own use. Rather, I believe the onus is on the developers to correct their mistake. Hard assed of me? Sure, I guess so. But also a thoroughly reasonable expectation.
