Request: Bring back some of 1P7's mini options

So I am hoping 1Password will take stronger focus on user facing improvements. It seems like you can read through alot of the questions on the community board. And reading the release notes, which I do for the betas. Not very many of them seem to be addressed.

Analytics be damned. I have to guess you are users of your own software. I have to imagine you could see the benefits in some the requests. Native Autofill. what 2 years going on 3? Edit the pinned window like 1P7. App linking improvements. Customize keyboard shortcuts for actions (copy username, password...or other menu fields)?

I switched back to 1Password a few years ago and there is ton to like about it. But the user facing side really seems like has taken a backseat to the enterprise push. Which is great, but the reason people like me recommend it to businesses. It has a great end user experience. This means people will use it.

So this turned into a rant, but I recently gave in and switched back to v7. why? I miss the list view and drag and drop hide/reshow. I tried to recreate that with this view:

however, keyboard shortcut for showing this window. turns out isn't reliable. tried 3 different hotkey combos. 3 different macs. sometimes it works, sometimes not.🤷‍♂️ annoying, frustrating, and I just didn't want to spend anymore time trying to figure it out. 1P7 it works flawlessly so here I am back at v7.

Also in 1P7 normally the search field would be focused.

Can that be added as user setting? Focus search field when using hotkey in 1P8.

Also if you drag and drop the window hides. However, does not re-appear like 1P7. It would not matter much but the hotkey won't reshow the window. This would be nice to have as an option.

Another option would be in quick access offer a view like above or call it a "classic view".

I really like 1Password. I. just really want some user facing improvements to be the focus.

    Completely agree with snowy - Last year a whole bunch of long time 1P users wrote extensively in these forums about the mess that 1P8 brought by losing all the features of 1P7 mini.

    I recently upgraded to a new MacBook and thought I'd install 1P8 to see if the team had listened to any of the feedback - but they haven't at all - So I also had to uninstall 8 and go back to 7 - which is just crazy - and works flawlessly.

    1p8 takes at least 3 clicks to do what you could do in 1 on 1P7... Given that you have a 'beta' community and request user feedback - why don't you listen to it?
