Important: This article is only for US Chromebook users with a standard English QWERTY keyboard. If you have an international keyboard, go to Settings Device Keyboard View keyboard shortcuts to find keyboard shortcuts for your device.
Use System Preferences to link a keyboard shortcut to the "Task Manager" menu command (System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts), since the Shift + Esc shortcut doesn't apply to Macs (at least not as of writing this post).
Go to System Preferences > Keyboard. Select Keyboard Shortcuts tab > Application Shortcuts in the list on the left and click the Plus button. Select Google Chrome in the Application drop down, type Task Manager in the Menu Title input, click on the Keyboard Shortcut field and press your shortcut of choice. Use Chrome's Task Manager to kill the desired process.
Normally and for as long as I've been using EN Web Clipper (with chrome Browser) on my PC, when I want to clip a webpage etc, I have always 1st clicked the EN Elephant extension-button on my Chrome browser toolbar to launch the Web Clipper.
I was running the beta version of 1Password, so I deleted it and reinstalled the regular version, but that didn't fix it. I also removed the Chrome extension and reinstalled it, but also didn't fix the problem. I had also tried using the beta version of the extension that is out there, but that didn't work either. Anytime I try and use the shortcut, I get a window that tells me to install the extension, even though it's already installed. I've seen other users report issues with the shortcut not working, but haven't seen any ways to fix it other than reinstalling, which I already tried. Any other suggestions?
@ag_tommy, I followed the prompts from the 1Password app to install the extension it told me to. Everything had been working fine until recently and I hadn't made any changes to the setup until after the issue arose. So how do I fix it so the shortcut will work? I prefer that as it's quicker.
I tried the Shift + Command + X, but all that seems to do is launch a window, not fill in the information. If it had a shortcut that did the same thing that would be fine, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
The new 1Password in the browser will show up on its own inside usernames/password fields on the websites you visit, so no keyboard shortcut is required at all! That's the beauty of it :)
I do hope you'll give it a proper chance before you switch back to 1Password Classic. Here's more info on it and how to work with it: -started-browser/
The new 1Password in the browser shows up inside usernames and passwords fields automatically, making keyboard shortcuts unneeded, which is great for most users, but as a keyboard shortcuts guy myself, I can definitely see your point here. Perhaps you'll benefit from a few tricks I'm using:
Thanks @ag_yaron for the tips. I would disagree with your initial statement that shortcuts are unneeded. As a long-time 1Password user, I would prefer having a shortcut that fills in the login credentials rather than having to move my hands to navigate and click. Or, if there were an option for the extension to automatically fill in the credentials when the site loads and there is only a single matching entry, then that would solve the problem. Many years ago when I used LastPass it did this. But that's not what's happening when I use the 1Password extension today. I still have to take steps to fill the credentials.
While I appreciate the suggestions you give for navigating with arrows, these to me are just workarounds to the fact there isn't a single shortcut to fill in the credentials. It seems if I use CMD+SHIFT+X to open the window and then hit RETURN it will fill the credentials, but this again is more steps than how it works in classic. ?
@ag_yaron, I gotta be honest. I'm a bit taken back by the continual attempts to get me to conform the way I work to your tool. As someone who has worked in the IT industry for almost 15 years as a Business/Systems Analyst, and is very familiar with software design approaches and methodologies, it's not a winning strategy to essentially dismiss my use case and try to get me to adjust to your designed workflow. I've presented a very valid use case for needing a shortcut key to populate credentials, and I'm sure I'm not the only user that would want that. Given that it's been available in the classic extension for a long time seems to prove the point.
Hey @Murphybp2. I know Yaron is very passionate about our newer extension and was not trying to dismiss your input here. I see your point about the usefulness of that one-step shortcut to fill a login like the classic extension has. I'm hopeful we'll be able to add that at some point in the new extension, as well.
Omg @ag_tommy you saved my life.
The chrome and safari extensions are, to put it mildly, irritating - not functioning as expected and always needs an unlock password.
Urghhhh I'm bugged by it for like a month and now I'm totally happy with the classic extension!
Previously I would command / and log into 1password, then search for the account I want to log into and open with autofill. Now I can't command / from chrome. If I want to use the command / I need to un-focus my browser window. That is really annoying.
Everything you are looking for still exist within the extension, just as it were in the old classic extension. If you call the extension using its keyboard shortcut (CMD+SHIFT+X , changeable via the extension's settings page), you will get the extension's popup where you can immediately start typing with your keyboard and find whatever you need regardless of which website you're on.
It used to be I landed in a login field and hit the keyboard shortcut, which automatically opened 1Password, thus prompting me to unlock with the Touch ID above the delete key (hand still on the keyboard as I have long fingers).
Hey @bencox76 ,
This thread is a tad outdated, but overall you should be able to call 1Password with either the extension's shortcut (CMD+SHIFT+X or CMD+. ) or with the desktop app's shortcut (CMD+\ ).
On Chrome 78 this keyboard shortcut opens the profile menu and focuses your previous used profile, so after you invoked the menu it's enough to hit Enter to quickly switch from one profile to the other.
With the latest version of Chrome, there is now a Menu option "People" at the top, with items for each profile you maintain. Since this is now a built-in menu, it is possible (at least on OSX) to bind a custom keyboard shortcut to switch to a specific profile.
All the answers are not the best if you have created many Chrome profiles, for example you have created more than 1000 profiles, you will find that it is so hard to find the specific profile you want to open. As Chrome has remove the option to create desktop shortcut, so you can not search the specific profile easily with PC file search function.
I am not pretty sure about switching between too many profiles but if you have just 2 profiles in google chrome, you can switch between them easily using Cmd+ keyboard shortcut. I use this everyday and it works for me.
The C shortcut opens the Elements panel in inspector mode. This mode shows you helpful tooltips when you hover over elements on a page. You can also click any element to view its CSS in the Elements > Styles pane.
I'm stuck trying to implement the Action command so that a keyboard shortcut will trigger the function inside background.js. The current code results in nothing happening when the keyboard shortcut is pressed.
After some investigation, I found it's a recent behavior change in macOS Monterey, not Chrome. All Apple apps changed the previous Cmd+Ctrl+F shortcut to Fn+F. And Apple updated their document, take Books for example.
I can confirm this. It seems the latest update of Google Chrome to Version 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (x86_64) changed the full screen shortcut. In my case, it changed from "Ctrl + Cmd + F" to "fn + F". However, I reverted this change by adding a custom shortcut to my macOS "System Preferences" in the "Keyboard" section.
Anyone knows how to remove "web apps" I made in Chrome using menu => extra => create shortcuts (no real Chrome apps) from the app menu in Ubuntu? When right-clicking on a normal app (Thunderbird in this case), I see this:
I use Dutch language but I think it's obvious: note the "Deïnstalleren" (uninstall) button next to the start button. But, when I right-click on a Chrome web app (which I made from the menu => extra => create shortcuts), in this case Facebook, it shows me this:
Guil Hernandez Even though I disabled the option for the help menu the shortcut cmd+shift+7(/) does not work the workspace only takes cmd+/ but I don't have that key on my keyboard. I only know that key from a full keyboard but macbooks don't have that.
I would love the option to change shortcuts in the workspace or at least cmd+shift+/ to be recognized. That would make commenting a lot easier, which is an absolutely important thing students should learn to do!
mersadajan Same here. I have an Italian keyboard, I disabled the Help Menu shortcut on the Keyboard settings but it still doesn't work.Only when I change the keyboard in to English input Sources the shortcut works.
I can create a shortcut in Chrome with More tools > Create shortcut. For Windows the documentation suggests that this will create some kind of file on the Desktop which users can click to open the shortcut. On Linux, not running a desktop environment, I see no such files. Yet, I would really like to have a script which I could run to open my shortcut. How can I do this?
Imagine typing wr support, fren bonjour or itconj amare directly in the URL bar to load the corresponding WordReference dictionary entry or verb conjugation table. Search shortcuts make that possible. You will need to create a separate shortcut for each dictionary you use, assigning a unique ""keyword"" to each one.
