3 years agoHey @Joy_1P, thanks for your reply.
Do you have Cmd+# set up as the keyboard for filling in the settings of the 1Password 7 app?
Yes, it has been set up like this from the beginning with. So on my older MacBook.
Cmd+# is actually Cmd+shift+3 on my keyboard. What kind of keyboard are you using? And what specifically happens when you try to invoke Cmd+# to fill?

Because the new extension and app are separate entities, they cannot be configured to use the same keyboard shortcuts. The main problem here is that the keyboard shortcut that you use to fill with the app does not work in Firefox. The default keyboard shortcut for filling with 1Password 7 is Cmd+\ and that fills fine for me in Firefox. If you change the shortcut for filling in 1Password 7 to Cmd+\, does that fill for you?
I am able to set up Cmd+\ in Firefox, which is actually Cmd+Option+Shift+7 on my keyboard. However, that one still doesn't do anything.
I am however able to set Cmd+Shift+L. This one does work.
The same is true for Firefox 110.0.1 btw.
Maybe I'll have to get used to using a custom three keys, one of them beeing an English language letter (as Cmd+
Umlauts (Cmd+{ä,ö,ü}) don't work as shortcuts as well, btw., and I'm pretty sure Firefox doesn't use them for something.
However, I think it's still worth fixing that the default keyboard shortcut doesn't work.
