Automatically activate the search pane when tabbing to the desktop app
When I switch to the 1Password app, I almost always want to search for an item. Would it be possible to autofocus the search so I could Command-Tab and immediately start typing?

Hi @agbaber, 👋
Thanks for your feedback! I understand how this would useful and have forwarded the request to our Product team for their consideration. In case it's helpful in the meantime, you can begin a search when the 1Password app is in focus by pressing
command+Fon your keyboard.Alternatively, depending on your needs, I encourage you to explore Quick Access, as it can be invoked without switching to the app itself.

Oh, quick access is great! May need to remap that slightly awkward keybind, but it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

@agbaber – Glad to hear it!
Also, if you set a "Show 1Password" keyboard shortcut in 1Password's Settings > General, pressing that shortcut will show or hide the main 1Password window, and when it appears, the Search field will be in focus for typing. Give that a try too and maybe that'll be useful. :)

Ahh, interesting. It's going to be a tough habit to break as I've been doing "Command+Space" -> '1P' -> "Enter" forever to switch to 1P :D

If you've been using 1Password for a while and you're used to ⌘\ as a keyboard shortcut, I can recommend setting something like ⇧⌘\ as the "Show 1Password" shortcut. Once I got the hang of being able to summon 1Password from anywhere on my Mac with one keyboard command, do what I needed, then dismiss it with the same keyboard shortcut, that muscle memory really started to bed in, and I barely even think about it now. :)
