Edge browser's shortcut keys disabled by 1Password extension.
Some of the Edge shortcut keys, such as Shift+Esc (browser task manager) and Ctrl+Shift+T (reopen a closed tab) became unreliable a few months ago, usually not working at all. Until today, it didn't...

Hi, @Joy_1P , I can answer some of your questions:
* Edge version?: Version 111.0.1661.51 (Official build) (64-bit)
* 1Password extension's shortcuts?: I hadn't edited the defaults, but I note that there are only two that I can edit, and that they were:
(a) Activation: Ctrl+Shift+X, which Edge uses
(b) Lock: Blank
I changed the activation & lock shortcuts to Ctrl+Shift+Q & Ctrl+Shift+F, which are two of the very few not claimed by Edge. (I wish I could use non-letter characters with Ctrl+Shift, but I suspect that's not your choice to make.)
* Do those also stop responding? Great question! I'll let you know when this next occurs.
I'm now aware that, when this does happen, the steps necessary to recover shortcut functionality are not consistent. So this might not be a 1Password problem, after all! I'll keep trying to figure this out.
Meanwhile, do note the conflict between the https://support.1password.com/keyboard-shortcuts/, and the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/keyboard-shortcuts-in-microsoft-edge-50d3edab-30d9-c7e4-21ce-37fe2713cfad. (That Edge-shortcut page is incomplete, omitting Ctrl+Shift+A, for example.)
When there's a conflict, Edge will (of course) seize the keystroke. Try Ctrl+Shift+X in Edge, and you'll see.
(Or should I open a new thread to report that bad-default bug?)
