5 years agoHi @ag_ana, thanks for replying to me. I'm not sure why I didn't find that thread when searching for this issue 🤦. It's not just Pastebot that can assign ⌘\, as I said you can also assign it in the Keyboard System Preferences:
Both there and with Pastebot, it's not just that I can assign it, but ⌘\ then works properly to perform the action. For further data points, I can also assign it to https://www.mowglii.com/itsycal/ to show/hide its menubar calendar:
And to https://www.pcalc.com/mac/index.html's menubar widget:
So at least on my Mac, 1Password is the outlier. And it's clearly possible to use ⌘\ as a shortcut to activate 1Password, as this is one of the defaults on a clean install of 1Password (and I assume for people who are upgrading that already have it set).
Could you ask your developers to look at this again, especially given its widespread ability in other apps. Maybe even if they just make an exception and if someone tries to set ⌘\ as a shortcut, 1Password bypasses the code to check if a shortcut is in use. Given it's such a common shortcut for people to use to activate 1Password, and that's it's widely available to other apps and they system settings for use, I urge AgileBits to find a solution for this particular shortcut.
