Hey @Andrew88759:

Great questions.

1Password for Safari works in tandem with 1Password 8 for Mac. We're using a newer extension API, Safari Web Extensions, which lets us bring our first-class browser experience to Safari the same way we bring it to other browsers.

What is the purpose of Quick Access if 1Password is supposed to 'Fill Anywhere'

You can use Quick Access to find items quickly, as well as trigger a fill into a website, or an app on your desktop.

Additionally, what is the correct way of opening Quick Access? Cmd-\ or Shift-Cmd-Space?

⌘+\ and ⌘+Shift+Space are similar, but do slightly different things. ⌘+\ is your AutoFill shortcut, where if there's only one matching Login item for the app or website you have focused, 1Password will fill it automatically. Quick Access will show suggested items based on the focused app or website, but won't fill automatically, so you can search for any item you'd like to find.

Once you've enabled 1Password in your browser, you shouldn't need to manually copy and paste your items to fill. Let me know if that helps, or if you're still running into trouble!
