Browser behavior of cmd-\ in 8 vs 7

Hey @1Ryan! The Cmd+\ shortcut is indeed a bit different in 1Password 8. In general, it is meant for filling. Alternatively, it can be used to invoke https://support.1password.com/quick-access/. From there, you can search for, open, and fill a login.

If you open a login from Quick Access, your default browser would indeed be launched. 1Password will then take you to the login's sign-in form and fill your details there. I'm afraid there's not a way to change this, as the Cmd+\ shortcut is not tied to a specific browser. Instead the Cmd+\ is tied to the app itself.

The new extension is a standalone tool, which means that it does not need the app in order to function. As a result, the extension relies on the browser's rules for keyboard shortcuts. In the browser, there are more limitations, and Cmd+\ cannot be used universally. That's why we tied the Cmd+\ shortcut to the app.

As a workaround, I recommend changing your default browser to one that you use frequently and one that you don't mind launching to save/fill via 1Password. I know that isn't ideal and it isn't the most flexible solution, but I do hope that it can allow for you to make better use of 1Password (based on what can be done currently).

In the meantime, I can create a feature request for the ability to have Quick Access open and fill in your current browser or a browser of your choosing. I hope that is considered and implemented down the road.
