Keyboard shortcuts
Authy's desktop app is (was) handy in that I could switch to the app and start typing, without using the mouse, to pull up the account for which I need(ed) a TOTP code. With Proton Pass, I have to click in the search bar before typing to search. It would be appreciated and convenient if there were a keyboard shortcut to jump to the search bar in the Proton Pass desktop app.
Additionally, it would be beneficial if there were keyboard shortcuts to jump to different fields of the desktop app and to copy or edit them, without having to use the mouse. Currently the only option for such is to repeatedly mash Tab.
Thank you, Proton, for your hard work!

I would love to have this as well. Moved from KeypassXC and the keyboard shortcuts (Desktop app) were amazing

KeepassXC has a few handy shortcuts that I'm missing here:
- CTRL+F - search (after searching you can navigate with arrow keys to pick from the list of matching results).
- CTRL+B - copy username
- CTRL+C - copy password
- CTRL+T - copy TOTPThis enables a really nice keyboard only flow in which you can ALT+TAB between windows to paste all of the necessary credentials into the browser.
It also has a shortcut for full autofill, which a lot of people might like but personally I don't like it because it basically executes a sequence of actions that paste your username and password with pressing tab in between and it creates a risk of accidentally pressing it and revealing your credentials somewhere.

I just migrated to proton pass and I'm about to go back because of this bad surprise: no basic passwords for user name, password and URL copy!

I just migrated from Bitwarden and it had a ton of useful keyboard shortcuts.
I really miss them. A lot. -

I believe we're talking about the browser extension here -- I use the Firefox and Chrome extensions. In addition to the shortcuts mentioned above, I would really love to be able to unlock the vault via the keyboard. Currently I have to click the extension icon in the browser toolbar before I can enter my PIN to unlock.

I migrated over from 1Password and one feature I really miss is being able to activate a password search from a global hotkey. I liked being able to press a hotkey (for ex ctrl + shift + space) and have a search come up where I can search passwords and then have more hotkeys to copy username, password, one-time password, etc.
