Hi Joelc, thanks for bringing this up. We were recently alerted to this potential hotkey conflict with Word by another customer as well (and put in a customer request to change the default shortcut 👍), but as far as I know it should be possible to change the shortcut setting in the 1Password app - so we'll definitely want to look into that too.

If you're up for investigating a little further, I'll suggest the following test:

  1. Open 1Password 8 for Windows
  2. Go to ... > Settings > General
  3. Click in the Show Quick Access box, then type Ctrl + Shift + A (an arbitrarily chosen shortcut). You should see this appear in the box.
  4. Lock 1Password, and then enter your account password again to re-open the app.
  5. Try the new shortcut to open Quick Access. Does it work?

This worked for me on a Beta version of 8.5.0 just now. I'll be interested to know what you find!
