1P8 Autofill Not Changing Tabs?
I assume I'm doing something wrong, but when I use CMD+\ and then put in where I want to go, the autofill doesn't seem to change tabs and then go to the new site. For example, from the Apple.com hom...
Hi! With the new capabilities of autofilling into apps, some of flows have changed a bit. "Autofill" tries to fill into the current web page or app, where "Open in Browser" is the one that would open the URL from the item in your web browser and then try to fill there. The Command+\ keyboard shortcut is tied to Autofill, but once you're in the list of items, you can use Option+Return to Open in Browser instead (or right-arrow to see all of the available actions).
If you use the default shortcut to activate Quick Access (Shift+Command+Space by default) this will have different behaviors where Open in Browser would be the default action. We handled this with two separate keyboard shortcuts (one for activating Quick Access, and one for triggering Autofill) because the autofill shortcut will actually just try to fill without showing anything at all if you're in an app, or on a website that has only one Login item saved for it. It only shows the Quick Access UI if you have more than one item for that app/website. And now that Autofill works in apps and not just websites, a lot of people expected the behaviors to work a bit differently.
This is an area we are still exploring some, and I appreciate hearing feedback on this and where it may cause confusion, so thank you!
