Regression: preferences is no longer its own window and ⌘W doesn't work the way it should
This is a consequence of moving to Electron, but I do not see a reason that it should be a necessary condition. With 1Password 7 and previous versions, as native macOS apps, the preferences window was its own window, meaning that I could hit ⌘W
to close the window. Now, hitting ⌘,
to bring up preferences (yay, that works) makes it a nested modal on the main window. When I hit ⌘W
, the entire 1Password window closes (this is made worse by the fact that ⌘0
resets the font size to “actual size” instead of either restoring the window or switching to the all vaults view; for that I now need ⌘1
.
This would feel more Mac-like if:
- the preference window was its own window instead of a modal pane;
- and
⌘W
closes the app, not just closes the last window (“last window closes app” type of behaviour)
I can see arguments against the latter (it’s not the way that document-oriented macOS apps work, but it is often the way that non-document macOS apps work and matches what happened with 1Password 6 and 7).
If the former (preference window as its own thing) cannot be done, then it should be clearer that dismissing preferences should be done with ␛
instead of ⌘W
.
