Can't use Ctrl+Shift+\ as a shortcut

I have always configured Ctrl+Shift+\ as the shortcut to open the full version of 1password (as opposed to Ctrl+\ for the mini app) This no longer works with version 8.... Will this be fixed? ...

Hi @craigfisher:

Sorry about that! Since backslash is an escape character for Markdown, our forum software may have tried to escape some of your text instead of interpreting it as Markdown.

Since you mentioned you're on a UK keyboard layout, we're still actively investigating issues with using non-ANSI keyboard layouts and saving shortcuts and hope to have it smoothed out soon. In the meantime, I've done some investigating that might help you get your keyboard shortcuts reconfigured. Instead of pressing the physical keys Ctrl+Shift+\ when binding the Open in 1Password shortcut, press the keys Ctrl+Shift+#. Similarly, to bind Fill in Browser, press Ctrl+# rather than Ctrl+\. After entering those keys, the field should display Ctrl+Shift+\ or Ctrl+\ as expected. After binding the shortcuts using the # key, let me know if using the shortcuts as shown works for you!
