Request: Option key to reveal password

Hello,

In previous versions of 1Password, pressing the option key on Mac would automatically reveal the password of the item you were viewing (yes, I know you can click the drop down, but that's awkward compared to just pressing and holding the option key). This was a handy feature. It doesn't appear to be in the 8 beta. Could it be in a future release please?

Many thanks!

    With respect to "press the option key to reveal the password":
    This works only in the normal view, not when an item is in edit mode (tested in BETA 80700041, but exists since quite some time).
    Is this a bug or a feature?

    I believe this option (hah!) exists - I use it!

    Preferences... -> Security -> Hold Option to toggle revealed fields
