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 )

Would be great if this could be fixed. I'm also using a German keyboard and stumbled about this issue too. ;)

I have a very similar problem with German keyboard layout. Traditionally the 1Password shortcut was CMD #. If I try to assign this with 1Password the # is immediately replaced by . It seems your shortcut editor doesn't respect the actual keyboard configuration. Another example. The German keyboard layout exchanges Z and Y compared to the US layout. Trying to assign CMD Z an a German keyboard becomes CMD Y in 1Password.
I've hit CMD Z or "Fill in Browser"
"Select Locale" in 1Password's Preferences is set to "Use system defaults" just in case it matters.

Yes this is what I meant
using any "command- anykey" does not fill in on any site, that I have 1 match only
as if, my keyboard is not recognize by 1Password
note in version 7 or prior, of course 0 match did not work, but multiple match would give me the choice ( hope this will come as well in V8)

Gilles Does this mean that for example if you set the Fill in Browser shortcut to ⌘', Fill in Browser does not activate when you use that shortcut (assuming it is not already in use for something else)? Note that Fill in Browser currently only works on sites where you have exactly 1 Login item that matches. It doesn't currently do anything if there are 0 or more than 1 match.

I would add that any key I use, just does not work at all

Yes it does but not for any keys that are different from the English US and the French Canadian keyboard
example: é,ç, " ^ " etc...plainly the customization only works for an English US qwerty keyboard
needs some localisation for 1Password V 8 - 1P_Ben

Thanks! So, it is customizable, but cannot be customized to use à or è. Is that correct? Does it work with letters on your keyboard that do not have an accent?
