Unable to set Fill in Browser shortcut as cmd+\
Hello, just upgraded to version 8 of 1password and I am unable to use the shortcut cmd+\ to fill-up form on the web. Clicking cmd+\ doesn't do anything. I checked on the preferences and changed it to see if it works with another shortcut (cmd+shift+h), and it work flawlessy.
I tried to change it back to cmd+\ but it "translate" cmd+\ into cmd+<:
Any idea what is happening and how(if) can I fix it?
I am using a QWERTY italian keyboard on a m1 macbook air
1Password Version: 8
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.3

I believe it is more of a shortcut recording issue, as it is impossible to record the shortcut CMD+\ in the app itself. Still waiting for a fix..

My experience is that the CMD+\ shortcut will not work until I am logged in to 1Password by some means. Once logged in, the shortcut works fine. Browser equals Safari. 1p for Mac 8.9.4

Can confirm the problem is absolutely NOT fixed. It's not that autofill doesn't work, the problem is that you can't set the autofill shortcut to cmd+\, because on certain keyboard layouts (like the Italian one) it gets assigned to cmd+< when you try to do that. It's just impossible to use cmd+\ as the autofill shortcut, which is the default one users are told to press when they want to autofill, and people will try to press it and it won't work, because it's bugged on certain keyboard layouts. Option A would be to fix this bug and make cmd+\ work on every keyboard layout. If that's not possible right now, option B would be to set the default autofill shortcut to a different one for specific layouts that are known not to work with cmd+\ and make sure users know the new shortcut they should use instead, so that they will have a working shortcut out of the box, without needing to change anything in the preferences.

Hi @nca, my apologies for not responding earlier - I have moved to a new role and as a result am in the forums less frequently than I formerly was.
I've tracked the existing known keyboard issues and from what I can tell the majority have been sorted thanks to app updates we've released over the last couple months. However, given that you're still encountering issues with this, it would be great for us to dig in deeper so we can understand why autofill isn't working for you.
In order to do that, I'll ask you to contact us by email so we can investigate on your behalf. Here's what to do:
- First, create a diagnostics report from your 1Password for Mac app:
Sending Diagnostics Reports (Mac)
Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to
support+forum@1password.com
.With your email please include:
- A link to this thread: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/657343#Comment_657343
