Can't drag and drop from quick search

From the quick search window (is that what you call it?), you cannot drag and drop the password/username.

If I click "Open Item in New Window" then I can drag and drop from there, but why the extra step?

I recently encountered this issue, when using the Windows Subsystem for Linux because it didn't like copy/pasting my password into Windows Terminal. (Though other stuff in Windows Terminal has been fine).

1Password Version: 8.5
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10 21H2

    Just upgraded to 1PW 8.6.1 from and noticed this change of behavior (missing drag'n'drop) which I consider a very missing feature. I don't want to copy passwords to the clipboard for security reasons (I'm using a clipboard history tool) so dragging a password from the mini window was used all the time by me.
    For now I'm using Ctrl-O to open the entry in a new window, from where I can drag'n'drop as previously with mini.
    This requires an extra step and the window needs to be closed explicitly after that.
    I really would appreciate if the fields could be dragged from Quick access- cursor-right-menu

    Hi tmakaro:

    Thanks for the kind words about Quick Access, I really enjoy it too! 😁

    While not detecting every app just yet, Quick Access on Windows does detect a few apps already, and we plan to continually make improvements on how Quick Access detects and surfaces items that are relevant for you. Stay tuned!

    1P_Blake In 1Password 7, I could drag and drop from 1Password mini, so I don't think it's entirely accurate to say it's never existed. However, aside from this little nuance I will say that 1Password 8's Quick Access is far superior to 1Password Mini.

    Quick Access has better keyboard shortcuts/navigation than Mini did, and it does a better job of remembering the item that I just used in Quick Access, but now need to copy a different field.

    My only other wish for Quick Access other than this drag/drop is for me to be able to link items with specific .exe files, so if a program is running (background or foreground) then Quick Access would suggest the appropriate item even if it cannot autofill it (that still saves me having to type to search).

    Hey tmakaro 👋

    It's never been possible to Drag & Drop from Quick Access, though that is a pretty snazzy idea, so I'll be sure to pass it on to the team to see if that's something we could look into.

    For now, setting a keyboard shortcut for Show 1Password and then using Drag & Drop from there might be the way to go. 😄
