What happened to double click opening and filling the web address

It's not the end of the world, but it was quite convenient to be able to open a website login page and autofill the use credentials by double clicking on a login.

That functionality now requires Command+Shift+F, which is not as simple and is not really intuitive (why "F"?).

Double clicking to open the item doesn't seem to add anything (but does make sense in Apple navigation terms) - but the functionality change is a pain and there could have been a simpler shortcut.

Why make the change?

1Password Version: 8.7
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.3.1

    I agree.. you just made using this MUCH more inconvenient ... really a stupid move ... wish i had not upgraded, and will not do so on my other machines ..

    Terrible Idea to eliminate the double click to open a website--how about i just GO to the website and type in my username and password--does that make any sense. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???

    I agree. Makes 1Password 8 less user friendly.

    Why can't developers realise that THE LESS KEYSTROKES THE BETTER?

    I agree. One of my peeves on transition. I didn't like it in 1password 8 Windows and I just transition to Mac 8 and same issue as they are now seemingly same interface.

    Is there a reason it was taken away.?

    I know you can "click, then click on the website link". but now double click opens up a mini window of the item. It would be nice you you could have preference setting for this.

    Thanks for the response - I had found the shortcut, which does help, and thanks for taking the time to add to your response.

    Hey again @jpkeates, in my last response I forgot to mention that we do have a shortcut in the app that lets you do something similar, albeit with one extra click. I imagine you're already aware of it, and I understand it probably doesn't fully address your feedback, but I thought I'd mention it!

    Hi @jpkeates, thank you for sharing your feedback. You're right that the functionality of double-clicking an item has changed in version 8. I definitely see your point about "open in new window" feeling much less useful than the ability to double-click and fill into the browser.

    While reviewing the app against your feedback, I also noticed that we don't currently offer any other button to open and fill an item other than via the application menu or the shortcut. That's something that could definitely be improved.

    We're always reflecting on feedback such as yours, and I'm sure there are ways we can improve this. I've gone ahead and logged your feedback into our tracker so the rest of the team will get a chance to review it and plan ways to make the app better.

    As always, feel free to reach back out if there's anything else I can be helpful with.

    Thanks!
    Gabriele
