Delete Alphabet Letters?

On the sidebar, in tabs, is there any chance you can add a preference to turn off the alphabet letters that display after you add 10 items? They just take up space and are not very useful. When scrolling through the list your eyes are focused on the first letter of the entries. Thanks, Jim

  • Hi @jimclawson

    Could you please give us a little more information about your setup? 1Password X doesn't have any such alphabetical sidebar, and doesn't work with vaults synced via Dropbox, so I'm a little confused as to what you're seeing here. I don't believe any of our software that does have such a sidebar supports turning it off, but once we have more information we can confirm.

    Thanks.

    I am referring to a list of logins within a Tab. Please see the following screen shots. The first is a list with 10 items within a tab. The second is the same list when you add the 11th or more items. The alphabet letters just are not helpful, and make the list physically longer.

  • Gotcha. Thanks @jimclawson. That appears to be 1Password for Mac, rather than 1Password X. There isn't a way to disable that functionality in 1Password for Mac other than to sort by something other than title, in which case you'll get headers that line up with whatever you're sorting by.

    Got it, perhaps an option for a future update? Meanwhile, I just tried changing the sort to "Category", and now the list is still alphabetical, but the letters are gone. Guess that solves it for me. Thanks!

    Perhaps, but to be honest, we're quite picky about what preferences we add. We already have quite a few. If you do a search on this forum for "add a preference" you may be able to get a sense of why we're fairly hesitant to add more. If anything I think we'd like to get rid of some. There has to be a fairly significant demand for such a change, and even then, it would have to be a case where simply changing the default behavior is not an option.

    That isn't a hard 'no,' but as far as I can recall this is the first request for such a thing. We'd have to see quite a volume of interest in order to consider that. :)

    I'm glad to hear you were able to find a solution. :+1:
