Lack of customizable shortcuts
I can't believe there isn't more ruckus about this on the forums, but the lack of customizable keyboard shortcuts makes v8 a complete non-starter for me. Probably six years ago I picked Cmd+period to be my autofill shortcut, and Cmd+Shift+period to be my "show helper" shortcut. If 1P8 doesn't offer me the ability to customize those shortcuts (as literally every other password manager does, even the really shitty ones), there's absolutely no way I can use it. That muscle memory is so deeply ingrained; it would take a herculean (and completely pointless!) effort to overwrite.

ag_andrew What about using Option key to temporarily reveal hidden passwords? I was using it all the time. My passwords are hidden by default, so I do not expose them by accident to someone around me, but quite often I need to quickly peak into something like PIN code, or a password. In 1P8 it's a lot of clicking to reveal a password ...

Huge +1 to this, but for another reason – I already use the shortcuts that 1P8 uses for other things so it's conflicting with other software on my system.
I'm enjoying the update overall but this is quite a regression for me.

I don't generally use 1Password's keyboard shortcuts, but the lack of customization hits me in another way. I use Cmd-Shift-Space for Hook and built Keyboard Maestro automation around it. Now, 1Password gets in the way. Looking forward to being able to customize.

mpcsh 1Password mini has been re-imagined as 1Password Quick Access. It's very early in the development cycle for this feature but we're excited for 1Password 8 adventurers to try it out. You can open it up with ⌘-Shift-Space (we'll be building customizable shortcuts for it soon) or by clicking the Menu Bar icon and clicking Open Quick Access.
Give it a try and let us know what you think. Keep in mind that it's only about a week old at this point; there's lots left to add to it 😅

I agree entirely with this thread, I am very much missing Command + \
I absolutely hate the inline filler as it often does not work on websites I use, so having that keyboard shortcut is a m

yes, definitely missing

and the sudden arrival ofcmd-shift-space
is messing with things as well. - Former Member
ag_andrew glad to hear the standard shortcut should be returning. As a 1Password user for over 10 years (and a current subscriber now) I’m not optimistic but I hope the Electron resources (memory/battery usage) can be cut down as a max of 16GB of memory in most Macs means we don’t want a huge memory footprint for an app that is always running but only periodically used. My account renews later this month and I don’t have time to migrate everything somewhere else now so I’ll give it 9 months to see. If it’s as bad as I expect, I’ll look for other options next May when I have more time. I hope those making the decisions hear the concerns many have about Electron (memory, CPU usage, potential security) and you can show that it’s on par with version 7 or the company will be losing a lot of customers.

Love the new v8.... but ahhhh..... my whole workflow got messed up with not being able to customize the shortcuts. Looking forward to the update :)

@SpaceSwift I hear you, I miss ⌘\ too.
In the meantime, please do let us know which websites are giving the inline menu trouble. Even if you're not a fan, we can fix it up and make it work properly for other users 💜
