3 years agoHi Andrew,
Thanks for your feedback! I understand your suggestions perfectly, but I’ll just reiterate, that’s not what I want to do.
I have about 2500 items in my 1Password, not to mention that I often have vaults open that I share with clients. I have lots of clients (I do IT support for small businesses and individuals) and will often create a note for one client with everything that client wants me to store. And yes, they ask me to store lots of information.
About half of my 1Password items are notes. My notes contain an average of, doing a quick estimate here, 100 words and passwords. I also use a number of other 1Password item types, with abandon!
Yes, I like your product, and I use it a lot!
I don’t want to create, another quick estimate, 50,000 items.
My issue, not being able to double-click on passwords in a reasonable fashion (I copied extraneous whitespace at the end of passwords, as I described, three times just today, I counted), would be less frustrating if things hadn’t worked perfectly before in 1Password 7, and all the other versions I’ve used for many decades, in a Mac-like fashion, where you double-click the thing, and it selects.
I do realize that 1Password is no longer build primarily with Mac-specific technology. It is what it is. But being able to select text is a central function. It’s how I spend, about, another estimate, 10% of my total time with the product. It should work better than just borderline tolerably well.
I really don’t think I’m the only user who selects text.
Thanks!
