Duplicate (copy) item in 1Password8 - missing shortcut and cumbersome required vault re-selection
In 1Password8, there are two issues related to the use of "Duplicate Item".
The keyboard shortcut is missing (was Command-D on MacOS)
Duplicate (unnecessarily) asks for the destination vault. ...

andrew_l_1P - yes, all of that is true, including the part about having an existing item serve as a sort of template for the new one. In those situations, it is generally the case that I'm not generally changing much - perhaps just the username/password.
Though that's not the primary concern I have, and I feel as if perhaps you might be missing the main point I've been making: in my opinion, there is no value in asking the user into which vault I want the duplicate item to be placed. It should just be in the same vault as the original. From a UX perspective, it is unnecessary friction (yes, that's a technical term in my research area) - that is, the UX forced interaction distracts from the primary task at hand. Interrupting the user at that point to answer an any question is forcing someone else's expectations on the user which probably will not match the needs of the user. If the user wants to move the item, they can do that after creating the duplicate, and perhaps modifying it. Perhaps they won't want to move it to a different vault, and thus there is no value in having been asked in the first place.
Finally, the keyboard shortcut clearly secondary to the above comments - though would be very nice to have - actually, have back, since it' was there in the previous version.
