Keyboard Shortcuts for Power Users

If you use 1Password as much as we do, you’ll want to know about these nifty keyboard shortcuts for getting around the Safari 5.1 extension quickly and easily.

⌘\ (Command-\) – This has been the default keyboard shortcut to “Fill Logins” for quite some time in all supported browsers. We haven’t changed it since it’s still a great place to start. It opens our new extension interface and displays any relevant logins for the current page.

⌥⌘\ (Option-Command-\) – The “Go & Fill” keyboard shortcut opens our extension and take you straight to the “All Logins” tab to search for a Login. After finding the Login you want, pressing Return will open the Login’s URL, fill in your credentials, and log you in. Boom!

⇥ (Tab) – This switches between the “Logins for this site” tab and “All Logins” tab.

→ (Right arrow)This one is a big deal! It gives you access to much more of your 1Password data inside your browser than ever before. It allows you to view the details of any selected Login, Identity, or Credit Card. Need to copy a password for a Flash site, double-check a Credit Card’s expiration date, or verify the info in an Identity? This is a great way to do it without having to drop what you’re doing and open the 1Password app. To get back to the item list, simply hit the left arrow key.

⌘← and ⌘→ (Command-Arrow keys) – Switches between tabs for Logins, Identities, Credit Cards, and the Strong Password Generator.

⎋ (Esc) – Hides the 1Password extension so you can go on about your business.

The “Fill Logins” and “Go & Fill” keyboard shortcuts can be customized in the main 1Password application (Preferences > Logins).

Set custom keyboard shortcuts in 1Passwords preferences on the Logins pane

Please note that keyboard shortcuts will only work if the focus is in the content area of a web page. They do not work in empty tabs or windows, or if the site is loaded and the focus is outside of the browser window’s content area (example: if you click in the address bar or search field).
