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!
This feature is a work in progress.

This could also be implemented by using existing launchers like Alfred or Raycast; bitwarden is implemented into raycast as an extension by connecting to its CLI. If we got a CLI, many problems could be solved at once.

All of your desktop apps (including the one for Proton Pass) are very difficult to navigate and use by keyboard alone (a requirement for many that are significantly visually impaired along with others that rely on screen readers to use computers). Looks like these apps are Electron based. You can find directions on how to create shortcuts https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/keyboard-shortcuts.

Will this ever be added? I am trying to switch over from Bitwarden after pulling the trigger on Proton Unlimited during a sale. I absolutely love most of was PP is doing, but the lack of a manual autofill hotkey is DRIVING ME CRAZY! I cannot cancel / leave Bitwarden until this functionality is finished.
In comparison to many of the other requests, it seems like this one would be a really easy win for y'all. Not to mention, that the Proton subreddit is packed with people asking for it!

I do as much as I can with the keyboard and I've been used to choose Credentials on Input Fields by clicking key down. This shows the auto complete of my Browser. I'd expect to also be able to choose Proton Pass Credentials on Login fields!

Global shortcuts would be great. But I'll settle for desktop app shortcuts for quick search etc.
While proton app is focused cmd/ctrl + p generates a password, cmd/ctrl + l a login, cmd/ctrl focuses search, etc.
Giving the option to enable a global search or opens the app and focuses the search.

+1 for this.
This combined with the inability to disable the counter badge on the extension icon makes ProtonPass a no-go for me, no matter how much I'd prefer it to Bitwarden these days. -

Effortless autofill and short cuts are a necessity. I can't believe this isn't implemented yet. I would like to use proton pass, but I'm not switching from your competitors until it's implemented. It's too much work to use your application without it.

This is so crucial for my workflow! It saves you a thousand clicks without thinking and stopping.

I just switched to Proton. I am very surprised that I can't navigate in the app using my keyboard. For example:
- when I select an item and press up and down arrows: this scrolls in the list but it doesn't select the previous or next item.
- I should be able to copy an item's email/username or password with a key combination.However, the search shortcut works unlike what Rachel initially said.
Thanks

I totally second this. I spend so much time and it is so annoying to have to move the mouse around all the time!

I think it's ridiculous that Proton Pass doesn't have an autofill shortcut. That must have been one of the first features implemented, however, it's been ignored for more than two years. I also work in software development, and honestly, this single issue is making me think that maybe Proton is not as innovative as it seems.

This is an absolute must if ProtonPass wants to compete with other password managers. How is this not implemented yet?

PLEASE PLEASE - support browser keyboard shortcut to autofill just like Bitwarden. It saves a lot of time and isn't hard to implement from an engineering perspective. **** if you give access to your source coard I could have my Ai agents help get it done.

This is one of the main reasons I am currently staying with 1Password as it is such an incredible useful feature. Looking up License codes or other information that you quickly want to access (which are not browser based and do not work with autofill)

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

I would love to see a feature similar to Keepass as well, an auto fill hotkey for username, password, Username [tab] password. I find this feature is great for users that do not install the browser extension to keep their password manager away from the browser. Since the browser is the most vulnerable tool we use to access the internet. With the password manager being used in the background at least I feel more secure than having them attached as an extension.

Autofill doesn't work pretty often with logins. It would be nice to have a hotkey that can force it the same way that Bitwarden does.
