Quick Access (the artist formerly known as Mini)

1P_Ben Think I figured out why I sometimes hear a popping sound when opening Quick Access: it's another case of 1Password 8 sharing a keyboard shortcut combo with another App: ⌘ ⇧ Space is also used to (un)mute a Huddle in Slack.

This also explains why my microphone was sometimes (not) on mute when in a Huddle with some of my colleagues...

• If 1Password is locked, I find that invoking quick access via shortcut causes the 1Password main window to display to unlock, then when unlocked quick access is shown while the 1Password main window remains open. It should close after unlocking like it appears to when opening a browser extension (Firefox) when locked.
• When using multiple displays (two in my case):
  • Quick access stays on a single display. It'd be good if there were options for this behavior like the option to open on the display with the current active app window or open on the display where the mouse cursor is.
  • If the 1Password main window is open and is on the same display as quick access, using the quick access shortcut shows quick access, then leaving quick access by pressing esc or the quick access shortcut again causes focus to change to the 1Password window (as reported by klanchman above). This is undesirable and focus should return to the previously active application.
  • If 1Password main window is on a different display from quick access, using the quick access shortcut causes both quick access and the 1Password main window to come to foreground with focus on the 1Password main window. Expected behavior would be for only quick access to display and have focus.
• If focus in quick access leaves the textfield (e.g. open quick access and click somewhere other than the textfield in the quick access window) when quick access is opened again focus is not on the text field. Focus should probably always be set to the text field for a new search.
• Also, as requested by sullimander above, I second a request for the default action to not be viewing details. It should probably be customizable as I think open & fill, or fill if already open would be my preferred default behavior.
• Currently quick access's more actions seems to only show options to copy username, password, and otp. In many logins I have multiple other custom password type fields that I expect to also show up under more actions.

Some feedback:

• Quick Access should be restricted to the collection I selected in the app. Or at least this should be an option to configure.
• When I open it I'm presented with a list of random elements. I would prefer this to be empty on launch since I don't want to share where I'm registered at when I'm sharing my screen, especially with the missing collection filter.

One additional piece of feedback I have not seen here yet related to Quick Access. I would love if I could customize the default action (when you press enter). By default is shows details, I would prefer it if it copied the password, at least in my workflow, most of the time I need either the username or password not to view the details.

Another nice to have, would be to show the 2FA code and timer ring on the results list, maybe on the far right, for each entry.

A couple of issues I've come across with Quick Access:

• Sometimes opening Quick Access via the keyboard shortcut when 1Password is locked takes a long time. It can take ~5 seconds for the 1Password window to show up (if closed) or move to the foreground (if already open). If anything, it seems more consistently slow if the window is already open.
  • This only happens when locked. When unlocked, it's as quick as I'd expect it to be.
• With the main 1Password window open in the background and unlocked, if you open Quick Access and then press ESC, the 1Password window moves to the foreground. I'd expect that whatever app I had in the foreground should remain in the foreground.

Hey @ingshtrom

Thanks for chiming in, and for trying out the Early Access.

as mentioned before, we need to be able to customize the keyboard shortcuts

Andrew is working on this today:

when I am in the quick access mode, if I want to exit or start over or something like that after I have entered the "more details" (right arrow) mode, I cannot without using my mouse to click out of it or doing one of the actions. I wish I could hit ESC to quickly move away from whatever dialog I am in

Yeah, good catch. We should definitely see about making ESC functional here. We have an issue filed for this. Hopefully someone will be able to pick up the torch soon.

when I go to search again in the Quick Access dialog, it picks back up where I started, even in the details menu. Usually when I search again I want to try a new search or find something else, not copy the same thing over and over again. I should at least be taken back to the original screen (prior to going into the details menu) and have the previous search term highlighted so that I can quickly overwrite it, or re-copy that same item again, if I really need to.

I made this point myself as well, as your expectation matches mine. We'll have to see where this one lands. At a minimum it should be made easy to get back to a 'clean' state.

Thank you

As a side note for Quick Access, I would love to see these improvements:
- as mentioned before, we need to be able to customize the keyboard shortcuts
- when I am in the quick access mode, if I want to exit or start over or something like that after I have entered the "more details" (right arrow) mode, I cannot without using my mouse to click out of it or doing one of the actions.

Congrats on the release, I look forward to seeing where 1Password goes, but back to 7 for me for now. 😅

⌨️ 1Password keyboard shortcuts may be helpful.

That said, you can get similar functionality in the 1Password in the Browser extension by activating it with its keyboard shortcut.

What's its keyboard shortcut? I don't see anywhere to set that, what am I missing?
