The key combination "Command + Shift + \" can't be used because it's already used
Hello folks.
After several problems arose in the last few weeks on my Mac, I decided on a clean install of macOS Monterey today.
After reinstalling 1Password and logging into my account, I can'...
I'm having a similar problem. For the past 10 years I've been using ⌥\ for the Fill Login shortcut. I've recently reformatted my machine, and 1Password no longer allows me to set this shortcut and gives a "The key combination ⌥\ can't be used!" error. I think this might occur because ⌥\ appears to be a shortcut for «, a character I'll never need a shortcut for.
Other apps will happily allow me to bind ⌥\, so I don't think MacOS prevents conflicting shortcuts from being bound. I think the issue is that 1Password will not allow the shortcut to be bound if it detects a conflict. Providing a warning is fine, but ultimately it should be the users choice to bind a shortcut (even if it has a conflict). Having to relearn 10 years of muscle memory is... painful.
It would be awesome if 1Password could allow advanced users to bind conflicting shortcuts (with a warning, of course).
