Escape key no longer clears current search in desktop client

esquared

Thanks for the reply. I installed an older version of 1Password 8 for Mac and I'm not seeing the esc button close the search there either. Do you remember the last time you used the esc key to close the search? And what version of 1Password were you using?

Is it possible that you were using the Find field rather than the Search? If you press Edit > Find and enter a term into the Find field, pressing the esc key does clear that.

Or were you using an older version of 1Password such as version 7?

I also noted that I can now "backup" (or go forward) in my filtered view using browser-like "backward" and forward arrows. I can also use traditional browser shortcuts like ⌘- and ⌘-. Sure that's a workaround, but now I wonder: Why on earth would I want my 1Password desktop client to behave like a browser? It's not. Despite the Electron base. Is there a way to disable the entire history feature? It's not useful (to me).

These are similar to the forward and back buttons in Finder. There isn't a way to turn the buttons off. The back and forward arrows have been part of the interface since the introduction of 1Password 8 for Mac almost two years ago: 1Password 8 for Mac is Now Available

Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to turn the buttons off? Are they getting in the way when you're trying to perform a particular task?

Moreover, the addition of the history feature means that if I wanted to clear the search bar of any previous search, I can't simply type ⌘-F and clear that field.

If you press Command-F the search field is automatically highlighted and you can type any key to clear the previous search term and enter a new search term. Are you seeing different behaviour?

I look forward to hearing from you.
