Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-X doesn't work when 1Password is locked
It seems like since the past few updates, Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-X doesn't work when 1Password is locked. Once it's unlocked, I can use the keyboard shortcut. I've tried this on Mac and ChromeOS with multiple different Chrome accounts/profiles. I've checked Chrome extensions shortcuts and there are no competing extensions. Anyone have an idea?
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: 2.6.1
OS Version: ChromeOS
Browser:_ Chrome

I found the problem and solution for me.
I recently upgraded to an AMD Radeon 9800X3D processor and in doing so the system by default installed a piece of software called "AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition".
If you open up that software and click on the gear settings icon, then click on hotkeys. Now disable hotkeys. Your 1password shortcut will start working again.
The funny thing is that in the software it lists all of the hotkeys that it uses, and ctrl + shift + x is NOT one of them. But for some reason disabling this feature resolves the issue regardless.
My best guess is that this software is reading for hotkeys and then not correctly bubbling up any keys that it does not have an event handler for.Anyway, Hope this helps.

steph_giles sorry for the delay. The workaround you posted on the other thread (https://1password.community/discussion/137658/anyone-else-having-trouble-with-the-keyboard-shortcut) worked for me.

Hey @lanrat, ptr727,
I'm sorry for the disruption, I'm glad you were able to get things back on track.
@radarradarradar,
Are you still experiencing difficulty?

Recreating the same shortcut worked for me.

This has also broken for me with Chrome on ChromeOS, Mac, and Linux.
I found the solution to be to navigate deep into the global Chrome Extension Shortcut Settings. Delete the 1Password Keyboard Shortcut, and then re-add it.
