Remap keyboard shortcuts [including Quick Access on Mac ⌘⇧Space; customization available in nightly]

blankspace

Shift + Cmd + Space is already a shortcut I use daily. The lack of ability to remap, let alone disable the new shortcut is very inconsiderate to other developers / user's workflows.

"Command + Shift + \" hotkey is what's often used in Slack - to open the emoji reactions dialog. I could find any way to disable it in 1Password 8 BETA preferences. This didn't used to be the case in 1Password 7.

Hopefully editing these will come in a later build as I have a bunch of conflicts now as well (eg. I have shift+command+space assigned to Fantastical).

roustem

Yeah, I feel we should go back to ⌘+\ or ⌘⌥+\

I don't really care what the defaults are, but ⌘+\ is used for something else on my system, so it feels important to be able to set a custom hotkey as you can in all previous versions.

Hello @blankspace! 👋

Thank you for trying out the early access version of 1Password 8! I agree that the ability to customize shortcuts is important and our developers are working on this.

I've forwarded your comments internally. :)

cmod

Yes. Please allow for customization (or turning off!) of these shortcuts; they're conflicting with all sorts of things on my system. The beta preferences panel feels a bit anemic at the moment.

I love the new design and improvements to 1Password, but I wanted to provide some feedback that is important to me. The first and most important one is the keyboard shortcuts to Quick Access. I didn't notice any way to change them like before, and to make matters worse, the new default shortcut (Shift + CMD + Space) is less user-friendly. Secondly, I really don't like the new Quick Access; I much prefer that it shows you previews of your items (like you see when using the browser extensions). Thank you all for your hard work!

Thanks @bcrowl! Quick Access is one of the areas that is the "most new" here, and still has a lot of refinements coming so we particularly appreciate the feedback on this.

We definitely do plan to make the keyboard shortcut customizable, and even the default one is being debated a lot still. Shift+Cmd+Space was chosen because our user testing so far showed that people thought of this type of feature as being very similar to things like Spotlight, Alfred, Launchbar, Quicksilver, etc. and all of those tend to use a spacebar + modifier combination for activation. The spacebar is also one of the most easily tapped keys being right under thumbs for folks that use the "home row" technique. And when asking users "what would you expect the shortcut for this to be" (that did not already know the previous shortcuts) they most often said "something with the spacebar". The previous shortcut for mini (using \) had some issues on some non-english keyboards, and within some browsers for the extensions which caused us to rethink it. But we're still heavily considering changing this (and as I said, it'll definitely end up being customizable whatever the default is).

Regarding the two-pane vs single-pane view, and showing item previews by default ... that's a tough one. We've gone back and forth on this throughout 1Password's history and generally there seems to have been more frustration from folks with the two-pane view then when it's been single pane with just a list. The single pane view helps people feel less distracted when they just want to quickly go and fill (not yet in the new Quick Access). Or if they want to have the details stick around longer for reference. Or just quickly use a keyboard shortcut to copy a password. We're attempting to work toward making it super simple to view the details when you want them, but keep them out of the way to make the window smaller, and more focused. That being said, no decision is final and I really do appreciate the thoughtful feedback and kind words!

Please make those global shortcuts customizable! I already have global shortcuts assigned to Cmd-Shift-Space and Cmd-Shift-C.

Ben

Hey @h80923

That is actively being worked on. My colleague Andrew posted about it earlier today:

• https://1password.community/discussion/comment/607155/#Comment_607155

We should see it soon. 🤞

Yes. Please allow for customization (or turning off!) of these shortcuts; they're conflicting with all sorts of things on my system.

This is certainly something on our radar! We really do appreciate everyone chiming in and letting us know things aren't quite right. 😊

Ctrl + Shift + Space also conflicts with Visual Studio's (not VS Code) shortcut for "show me the overloads of the method I'm looking at", which is a pretty important one for Windows devs. I have had 1Password popping up all day and just figured out why.

Sorry about that @sharpjs. Customizable keyboard shortcuts are in the works.

Just curious — what was the rationale behind changing the default shortcut and making it not editable in the first place?

krusnof

Another plus for changing. Please don't take other's apps major shortcuts—while removing your own original.

SpaceSwift

+1 for customizable shortcuts.

neilco89

The 1P8 beta on MacOS has a keyboard shortcut to call up a pop-over search box. Sounds handy, but the keyboard shortcut is ⇧⌘SPACE. The default shortcut to take a screenshot of a part of the screen is ⇧⌘4, but if you want to screenshot a window or menu bar then it's ⇧⌘4SPACE. See here for more details https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201361

As soon as I type that extra SPACE to switch from capturing a portion of the screen to highlighting a whole window, the 1Password Quick Access window pops up and I can't take a screenshot. Can you please fix this?

Hi folks.

In an effort to keep most of the feedback on this subject in one spot I've merged a number of threads. Apologies for any resulting disjointedness in the conversations. Customizable keyboard shortcuts are coming. It will be possible to change the Quick Access (and other) shortcuts to something else so you can avoid conflicts with other software on your systems.

Thanks!

Ben

chek

Thanks, @Ben – Glad to hear customizable shortcuts are coming. Please keep us up to date. Some users are really going to try to accept the new UI/framework here, but you all set the bar high given 1Password's history. We have been conditioned to expect zero regression from the iPassword 7 Mac app. :smile:

davidrushton

I have Cmd+Shift+/ setup was my 1Password keyboard shortcut (past version of 1P), but it seems to be hijacking Cmd+/ which is preventing that working in other apps (e.g. Visual Studio Code, PhpStorm).

In Beta preferences, there doesn't appear to be a way to check / change keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcut mapping is being worked on. Hopefully soon.

sfuzzymagic

I don't see a config for this in settings/preferences of the app anywhere. The most annoying one is the one for 'quick access' as the choice there overlaps some fairly popular IDE shortcuts.

1. Open system preferences
2. Click on keyboard
3. Choose the shortcuts tab
4. Click on App shortcuts
5. Click "+"
6. Choose the application to edit the shortcut
7. Input the name on the menu item in "menu title"
8. In keyboard shortcut enter the shortcut you want
9. save and restart the application.

Works for every (most?) applications.

@sfuzzymagic

Keyboard shortcuts should be dropping soon. It's been one of our most requested things as of late.

ag_tommy

@blar

Thanks for sharing! I have used that in the past for my own needs. ;)

Geobomatic

Using early access v8, I think we should be able to customize the keyboard shortcut. Or at least deactivate some. For exemple, Ctrl+Shift+Space conflict with a lot of IDE (VSCode in my case, to trigger parameter hints).

Hi folks. I've merged a few threads that were about the same subject. Customization of keyboard shortcuts is coming soon. 🙌🏻

@dteare recently announced in build 80200056:

Improved keyboard shortcuts, including the return of ⌘\ (ctrl+\ on Windows & Linux)! 🥳

However, I already use this shortcut for Paste (my clipboard manager), and now whenever I use ⌘-\ to launch Paste, I'm prompted to authenticate with Touch ID because 1Password is attempting to launch itself.

I looked in 1Password 8's preferences as well as macOS's Keyboard Shortcuts System Preferences, but I can't locate where this keyboard shortcut is set so that I can unset it.

Please advise!
