Clear Search Field without Mouse?

Thank you for the reply. I don't believe that there's currently a dedicated shortcut to cancel search so that you no longer see the previous search results. One option would be to press CMD 1-9 to choose your current account/collection which will bring you back to All Items.
I'll share your feedback with the team, thank you for posting!

What a ridiculous solution from the 1password team. Just make the whole field selected (like typing cmd+a) instead of these insane workarounds.

I'm sorry for the frustration. Just to clarify, if you press CMD-F you should see the previous search term automatically focused and selected aside from certain specific situations that our developers are looking into.
Can you tell me a little more about the scenario where you don't see the field selected? I'd like to make sure that the issue is filed with our team as something to resolve in the future.

The CMD+F does take you to the search field but if there is a previous search term, its still showing so you can type into the search bar but it's already filtered from the previous search.
See Screenshot, this is after i hit CMD+F and the cursor is in the search bar, but as you can see it's still already filtered.

Thank you for the feedback, I've passed it along to our development team internally.

You can see the screenshot. I have searched for "365" and it showed results. I switched windows and came back to 1password to search for something else. I hit cmd+f and instead of highlighting the previous search to facilitate immediate typing it just adds to the previous search obviously producing 0 results. Each time i have to remember to hit cmd+a and then start typing which is mindblowing. I have been doing this for 2 years but enough is enough.
See the screenshot. I have searched initially for 365, and copied a password from the results. Switched to a different app and then i came back to 1password to get another password. Hit again CMD+F and instead of highlighting the previous password and make typing work straight away, 1password only adds up the new search term to the previous one, so you will end up searching, for example, "365 gmail". Workaround? Remember to hit CMD+A before searching to do this.
Absolutely insane, i wonder how the team has not thought of this productivity and efficiency killer. I have beared with it for 2+ years but enough is enough.
