Quick Access (the artist formerly known as Mini)

XIII That's really odd about the sound, I'm also not hearing it (with the main window opened or closed). Which version of macOS are you running?

Looks like Travis answered you in another thread about the current state of Quick Access, but for anyone else reading along, Quick Access is very early days and will have a bunch of improvements coming its way in the near future (including to clearing search results) :)

I haven't been able to reproduce this one. If I clear the search using the 'X,' or if I backspace and then type something else, I'm shown new results. Could you please walk me through the steps you're taking?

1. Type a search string
2. Select one of the results using the cursor keys
3. Use the right arrow key (of your keyboard)

Apparently you need to use the left arrow key (of your keyboard) to get out of this mode, because searching does not work until you do?

The sound when opening Quick Access is back again...

Not sure what triggered it. Maybe closing the main App and then opening Quick Access again?

Testing out the new 1password 8.0 for Mac.

1. Is there a way to change the quick access shortcut?
2. When I navigate to an item on quick access. When I use the shortcuts to copy username/passwo/etc. Nothing happens. I use the arrow keys to go down to it and hit enter to copy it into my clipboard.

I absolutely need the old shortcut back (⌘ ⌥ ) to quickly access logins (by search or by application awareness) with arrow key navigation and Enter/Return for copying to clipboard. Please and thank you!

Thanks for the feedback, slprice . I'm including these notes in our task list and we will be working on problems like these, and many others, in the coming weeks.

Add another to the list:

• Quick Access no longer does a substring search of the title. For example if the word "passport" is in the title, I could type just the 3 letters "ssp" that were unique to that entry and find it quickly. Now it takes the 5 characters "passp." Interestingly, "ssp" finds an entry with "ssp" in the URL instead, though it is bounded by nonword characters.

Here are some of my complaints about Quick Access (on macOS):

• Quick Access seems to always search all vaults, regardless which collection is selected in the main app, and there is not an option to select the collection in Quick Access a la Mini.

• When Quick Access is invoked while in a full-screen app, it opens on the desktop, removing the app from view. Mini would float over full-screen apps, not interrupting my work.

• Logins pinned from Mini could show over full-screen apps, Quick Access opens passwords in the 1Password app and those windows cannot be moved over top of a full-screen app.

The second and third are particularly annoying when I am working on a remote computer that is in full-screen mode. Using 1Password on my local system to copy and paste credentials into the remote system (on which I cannot install 1Password) is more cumbersome with 1Password 8. Mini worked so much more smoothly, I did not even need to touch the mouse.

Thanks for the quick reply 1P_Ben!

Those are things we'll be looking at improving. That said, you can get similar functionality in the 1Password in the Browser extension by activating it with its keyboard shortcut.

I may hold off for a while then. I've been avoiding the 1Password X extension as I like to keep things simple and I prefer always using the desktop app in mini version, for consistency.

Also, the 1Password X extension is limited by Chrome extension limitations. For example, you can't resize it taller than a certain height and if you use a secondary, low-DPI display, the extension will use low-DPI visuals so they look pretty bad even when the Chrome window is on a Retina display. 😔

When I clear the input field in Quick Access and I type different text I expect it to search for entries containing the new text, but nothing happens (original search hit remains shown as the result, both when clearing the field and when typing different text).

I haven't been able to reproduce this one. If I clear the search using the 'X,' or if I backspace and then type something else, I'm shown new results. Could you please walk me through the steps you're taking?

Also ⌘Alt-C does not seem to copy the OTP code to the pasteboard...

Hmm. On my system ⌘⌥C is the shortcut I have for Alfred's clipboard manager, so I'll need to find some time where I can unset that to test further.
