1Password 8 quick access shortcut
Hi,
Since 1Password 8, i have some issues with Quick Access shortcuts.
I can modify the default Quick Access shorcut in the 1Password app Preferences.
But I think that there is another under ...

1Password TeamHi @rbaaboud,
You're correct!
⌘ + ` is a global shortcut used by macOS to "move focus to the next window." 1Password 8 also uses global shortcuts to invoke Quick Access, so you can access it while using any other app in macOS.
Further, a global keyboard shortcut can't be used for two different actions at the same time. This is why you can't switch the shortcut for Quick Access to ⌘ +` without first changing the shortcut for move focus to next window in the macOS System Preferences.
If you wish to change the keyboard shortcut for "move focus to next window" you can do so by following these steps:
- Open Apple's System Preferences and choose Keyboard
- Choose the Shortcuts tab and then Keyboard in the sidebar
- Select the keyboard shortcut for "move focus to next window" and type in the new shortcut you'd like to use.
I have included a screenshot for reference:
After you adjust the global shortcut that macOS is using, you should be able to use it as a shortcut for 1Password 8.
- Note: for this shortcut specifically, there appears to be an issue with 1Password 8 not recognizing the " ` " key for use with global shortcuts. We're actively investigating this issue internally, and I have added your case to the tracker. Can I ask what kind of keyboard layout you are using?
I apologize for any inconvenience here.
