Using backslash in Chrome extension shortcut

Previously, when I used the native application's "helper" for filling logins in Chrome, I did so with the keyboard shortcut Cmd + backslash. This doesn't seem to be possible using 1Password X, however. Maybe this is due to the way Chrome restricts keyboard shortcuts?

Is it not possible to using Cmd + backslash in Chrome as the keyboard shortcut to open 1Password X? Learning a new shortcut when Cmd + backslash is already an ingrained reflex will be a pain, but maybe worth it I dunno...

    @aheckler: First of all, I've got to tell you, I'm a huge fan of your brand of heckling. Hopefully others will adopt your style! :lol:

    I regret not being to recall all the specifics, as this was something we dealt with last year when 1Password X was originally being developed, but unfortunately it isn't possible to use the classic ⌘ (or Ctrl) \keyboard shortcut within the browser. We're only able to do that with the desktop extensions because, well...quite frankly they're not involved; it's handled entirely by the native app.

    Anyway, that was a bit of an adjustment for me too at first, but since 1Password X works very differently than the desktop version, using inline menus to great effect, I've found I don't really even give it much thought anymore. Cheers! :)
