Lock keyboard shortcut becomes unavailable unless set globally

By default, 1Password assigns ⇧⌘L to Lock 1Password.

This shortcut is global and I tend to disable it as it is quite often used in other apps.

Unfortunately, by unassigning the shortcut, we also make it unavailable in 1Password itself.

I know I can assign a custom shortcut in System Settings, but I wanted to report this behavior as it seems a bit odd.

    Hi @mfilej, thanks for reaching out!

    With 1Password for Mac, you should be able to change the "Lock 1Password" keyboard shortcut within the app settings using the following steps:

    1. Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac app.
    2. Click on your account or collection name, then select Settings.
    3. Make sure that General is selected in the sidebar.
    4. Click in the field next to "Lock 1Password" and enter your preferred shortcut.

    Can you let me know if you're able to adjust the setting to your preferred shortcut that doesn't conflict with other apps using those steps, rather than make adjustments in the System Settings of your Mac?

    I look forward to hearing from you!

    -David

    Sorry that I wasn't more clear — yes, I'm able to change it, but I don't want the shortcut to be global.

    I'm able to set a shortcut that is NOT global by using System Settings and that too works just fine.

    It just seemed an unusually odd behavior that was worth reporting. If this is all as intended then please disregard everything I said.
