Keyboard shortcut for opening 1Password in Windows.

in 1Password 4 for Windows

The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+\ is interfering with the accent-key (acute) on my Norwegian layout keyboard. I need to press AltGr+\ to get to acute symbol but then I get the 1Password dialog. To avoid this I have to learn ascii codes for á (Alt+num0225), é (Alt+num0233), etc. You see my problem? I don't know why AltGr+\ should pretend to be Ctrl+\ ? How can I change this?

1Password Version: 4.6.0.604
Extension Version: 4.5.6.90
OS Version: Windows 10 Enterprise ver 1511

    @mgranum: Sorry for the confusion! While Ctrl \ is the default, you can change it in 1Password Preferences > Logins. And whatever you choose, adding Alt to it (e.g. Ctrl Alt \) will open the 1Password menu instead of filling, and then you can open the main app from there. This shortcut won't work in all apps, but in most places (i.e. Windows File Explorer) it's a quick way to open 1Password using the keyboard. I hope this helps! :)
