Bug: Quit behaviour inconsistent
Hi - a potential bug.
If I quit from the menu or CMD/Q then I get the desired (and previous behaviour). Just the main app quits.
If I quit by right-clicking on the app on the Dock, then it also...
Adding to this! (except the behavior seems different now?)
I instinctively quit the app using ⌘Q, which seems to quit it completely—the global shortcut becomes unavailable, and the Web extension is locked.
I'm not necessarily against challenging the status quo, but for sure this is a departure from the norm. In apps like Alfred, CleanShot, iStat Menus, Pictogram or DriveDx, ⌘Q does not terminate the background service, it only quits the visible app.
Some other apps do terminate their service when quitting with ⌘Q, but these are almost always apps with no Dock icon; where it's implied that you're interacting with a bit of UI that's part of the background service, not a separate app that talks to the service. Dash, Sleeve and Displaperture fall into that category.
I'd be strongly in favor of reimplementing 1Password 7's behavior, which had a separate, explicit way of completely quitting the app and service. It feels to me like this isn't part of regular, daily use of 1Password, so it deserves to be a different, deliberate action.
