Bitwarden fill login details shortcut Ctrl-Shift-L does not work in Edge. Annoying. Bitwarden says I have to change the shortcuts… yes, well, how? I’d like an easy answer. It is WAY to hard to find this information. If this is easy to do could you make this a sticky please? Thanks
Hi, open Edge and type in the address bar edge://extensions/shortcuts
There you can set your shotcuts for Bitwarden
Hope this helps

Thank you! It most certainly helped. It was more simple than imagined. Who knew Edge had a separate keyboard shortcut thingie for the extensions… you can look around in SETTINGS a long time without finding ANYTHING AT ALL. You can search in settings and there is nothing. And Google pointed me towards some horrible devtools keyboard shortcut nightmare that was not helpful at all.
A few more details.
Open Edge and type in the address bar edge://extensions/shortcuts
You will see
“Auto-fill the last used login for the current website”
This is where you sequentially type and hold the following keys Ctrl Shift L
Leave “In Edge” unchanged.
By-the-way, to see what Edge was originally doing with Ctrl + Shift + L look at
Edge Shortcuts
It says the following:
Ctrl + Shift + L Paste and search or Paste and go (if it’s a URL)
This doesn’t work. The shortcut is there:
but nothing happens when I use it.
Try deleting the shortcut and creating it again.
Tried that so many times.
If you change the shortcut to something else, does it work or not?
Yup, works if I change to something else (even if that something else is an existing Edge shortcut). But I use BW in other browsers and prefer shortcut uniformity for muscle memory.
If you copy a URL (e.g., https://www.google.com), then open Edge and hit Ctrl+Shift+L, does it open that URL (i.e., does the shortcut trigger the Edge “Paste-and-Go” function?)? What if you do this in an Edge InPrivate window?
Also, what operating system are you using?
