Thanks for the feedback, thewellington. I wanted to take a minute to respond to some specific points.

If I now choose to "view details" of my credit card, or my wife's SSN, I get a window that pops up not he screen. I must now use my mouse to copy and paste the pieces that I need, and simply holding down Option does not reveal the secrets, unless I have clicked in this new window first to give it focus.

I'm not able to reproduce this behavior, but it's possible it changed in a recent version. I'm on 80800004 (nightly). Here's what I did:

  1. In Quick Access, search for an item.
  2. Press Cmd-O to open the new window.
  3. Hold the Option key => this reveals the password. The window was focused when it was opened, so no extra click is needed.
  4. Press up and down arrow keys to highlight the desired field.
  5. Press enter to copy it.

At this point I can choose to close the window or leave it open. This is different from the old 1Password mini behavior, but it's still keyboard accessible (Cmd-W), and I think it provides a nice level of flexibility so that if I'm needing to copy more than one field I can easily switch back and forth and do that.

Could you test again and let me know if you're still seeing something different?

But tabbing to the field does not trigger 1Password to fill the password. I need to manually click the 1password logo to get it to offer me choices to fill.

We may have a bug here. I just saw the same thing, but then remembered that that's not how it used to work. I went to the extension settings and found the option in the screenshot below, which was turned on, but when I went back to the sign-in page I was testing (in this case GitHub) it the menu definitely was not appearing when the field was focused. I toggled the switch off and on and behold it worked. Can you try that and let me know if that causes the menu to open when you tab to a sign-in field?

(To get to this setting, open the main extension window, click the icon in the top right corner, and select Settings from the dropdown.)

Lastly, if I press cmd-opt-\ Quick Access pops up and I have to search for the thing I want

We have some work in progress that I think will get this working the way you expect with some icing on top, so stay tuned. 😎
