Hot key to directly open 1Password App, not 1Password Mini

I suggest including a key combination when one invokes 1Password Mini so that you can go directly to the 1Password app and not have to mouse over to /Gear/Open 1Password


1Password Version: 5.3.2
Extension Version: 4.3.1.90
OS Version: 10.10.3
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Hi @Dr_T,

    Thanks for taking the time to send us your suggestion! I can let our developers know you'd like to be able to do that, but there are actually other ways to open the main 1Password app which you may find easier than using that option in 1Password mini:

    One way to open an app is to go to the Applications folder on your Mac and double-click the app you want to use. But to make it even easier, you can drag an app from the Applications folder to the Dock. (Or if 1Password is already open, right-click on its icon in the Dock and choose Options > Keep in Dock.) That makes a shortcut to the app in the Dock, and you can simply click once on that to open the app.

    Another option is to use Spotlight to quickly find and open the 1Password app. Click on the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of your Mac (or press ⌘+Space on your keyboard) to open the Spotlight prompt, then start typing "1Password". After the first couple characters, your Mac will probably find the 1Password app, and you can press Return to open it.

    Hopefully this helps, but if you need anything else, just let us know! :)

    Thanks for the rapid response Drew. All good suggestions---but for power users like I, we're not happy having to go through all the "hoops" (even if they're really big and easy to jump through and there are only two or three). We want one press of keys to get us where we want to go. I'll just set up Keyboard Maestro to launch the app. However, the coding to implement my suggestion should be trivial, so I hope your developers do implement it. Again, thanks!

    No problem! I didn't realize you were a power user, so I apologize for explaining things you already knew. ;) I can't make any promises, but like I said, I can certainly let our developers know you'd like to have that feature in 1Password.

    We're here for you if you need anything else.
