Hello luckman212! 👋

Thanks for reaching out. As the name suggests, Universal Autofill is designed to be available in any Mac App on your device: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

Is there a reason why you wanted to make the Autofill shortcut Command-S? That's a very common shortcut for saving on macOS, why not choose a different shortcut for Autofill?

The best workaround, for Chrome specifically, that I can think of would be to set a blank shortcut for Autofill in the 1Password app. Then you can set the "Active the extension" shortcut for 1Password in the browser to Command-S: chrome://extensions/shortcuts

When on a page you can then open the extension using Command-S and press Enter to autofill your login into the page.
