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 is a small feature but it's frustrating not to have it. 😉

This feature is referred to as "Quick Access" when comparing it to 1Password

As an example (functionality that exists within 1Password) invoking a keyboard shortcut (such as CMD + Shift + Space) would pull up a "spotlight like" search bar (system wide) which would allow for quick search for a login - and present allow for additional Keyboard Shortcuts such as CMD+C to Copy Username, CMD+Shift+C to copy password - to allow for improved workflow of quickly searing and logging into accounts where autofill cannot currently access across apps and other system prompts.

I found it very useful while I was using 1Password. Anytime I'd need any password, I'd just press the key combination and the search window would pop-up (similar to Spotlight). Very handy!

This seems to be duplicate/similar to https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass/suggestions/47666525-autofill-totp-and-credentials-with-keyboard-shor .
Who can merge those?

Tried Proton Pass a year ago. Saw that this shortcut wasn't available so I went back to Bitwarden.
This morning I thought to myself: "hey, let's try Proton Pass again, it's been a whole year, surely there's must be keyboard shortcut by now!"

I use it all the time on bitwarden. Not having a shortcut for filling password is a no-go for me

having a keyboard shortcut is just essential, not having it slows me down a lot

I was going to create a new post about the exact request. This is a very critical feature for my workflow. I would like to use Ctrl+Shift+L for autofill but a custom keybind is not a bad idea. The absence of this feature tempts me to fallback to Bitwarden.

It's quite baffling there is no option available to create a form-fill shortcut yet, as this post is over a year old and the comments cleary demonstrate the crucial need for this feature.

this is very critical for any password manager.
to much clicking and switching between windows otherwise...

I also come from BitWarden and hate it when the “Form Fill Symbol” is always displayed and completely destroys the form in 5% of all websites due to the CSS.
I would also like to be able to hide the form fill symbol and only use shortcuts to make the input
I use the Chrome plugin.

As already commented, this is likely a duplicate or elaboration of #46860538.
@Proton, is there a way to unify the two so that upvotes are not divided between the two? At the time of writing this comment, this particular request could have twice as many upvotes had it not been duplicated!

This is a **must**! The second I realized this I went back to Bitwarden.

This is truly needed! Trying to switch over from Bitwarden, but I don't know long I'll last without CTRL+SHIFT+L.

How is this not implemented yet? I've been using Proton Pass since March anticipating that I'd be able to configure a shortcut key for filling a form before long. Guess I was wrong.

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.

This is critical for me as well. Happy to switch to Proton pass once it's available

A shortcut to fill out forms is critical for Proton Pass to compete with 1Password / Bitwarden and services alike.
