Accented/non-US English keys not accepted in keyboard shortcuts [investigating]

On a French Canadian Keyboard, to use "command \" we need to use the upper case key ( command -uppercase-\ ) as the symbol "\" is an uppercase ( key below the esc key, which as "/" as the normal key, "\" as an uppercase key, and "|" as an option key )

and that short cut "command-uppercase-\" is used by Safari to "show Tab overview"

so it is unusable, and even if it was usable, using 3 keys for a shortcut is not very user friendly,

are you folks going to give us an option to use anything we want as a shortcut ?

( in Version 7 and prior, my shortcut key was "command-à" which was simple and easily usable )

    This is what I see:

    The problem is that if I type "command-à" in the "Fill in Browser" field it ends up showing "command-\"
    if I type another letter than "à" then it works

    makes me think that 1Password does not recognize my keyboard ( French Canadian) keys correctly as it shows "\" when I type "à"
    ( it also shows " ' " when I type "è")
    so the preference field for "fill in browser" thinks or consider I have an English USA keyboard

    Could you please post a screenshot of what you see in 1Password > Preferences > General while on the latest nightly?

    are you saying that customizing the "Fill in Browser" is to be customizable today ? so I can use "command-à" as a shortcut

    As from beta 8.2.2 beta 23 and Nightly beta 29 it is NOT customizable

    Maybe we did not understand each other clearly

    Thanks
