3 years agoShow in Large Type is missing in Quick Access of 1Password 8
It's a shame, because quick access menu (that from Shift+Cmd+Space) works great for me, but for the bank account I need to use Show in Large Type, because this password has to be typed in a special w...

I am aware that Quick Access can be accessed by the keyboard shortcut, and yes that is good – however, please note that in 1P8 there are more steps required to get the "proper" Large Type window that can stay on top of other windows.
In 1Password 8 (mixed input method required, some keyboard typing + 2 clicks):
- CMD + Shift + Space to get Quick Access
- type to search for an entry (because Quick Access does not recognise the website I'm on)
- CMD + O to open own window for that entry (Large Type can't be invoked from within the entry details within Quick Access!)
- use mouse to select "Reveal in Large Type" from the dropdown (2 clicks needed)
In 1Password 7 (all by mouse, total 4 clicks):
- click 1PMini icon in the menu bar (the window pops up and is already showing me the entry for the website I need to provide password for)
- select "Reveal in Large Type" from the dropdown (2 clicks needed)
- click to move that window in order to have it pinned (sic!)
Even though in 1P7 it is all by mouse (and you still have to nudge that window), I much preferred that – 1P is already showing me the website I'm trying to log into, and I don't have to shuffle between using browser's extension and the standalone application's widget (meaning Quick Access)...
It would be great if you could at least allow for a keyboard shortcut to have the Large Type window pop up. I admit that I don't need Large Type that often but I still have few websites where I have to log in regularly, and you have significantly made it harder to use that feature for some reason.
