As a long-time KeePass user, I can only sound this and emphasize that I really really really miss the lack of a swift keyboard usage in Bitwarden.

Most of the time, I need to open my vault’s desktop app, search for a particular entry, and copy the username or password. With KeePass, this was fairly easy: Ctrl + Shift + K | enter search term | Tab (for selecting the first search result) | Ctrl + B (for username) or Ctrl + C (for password).
Using Bitwarden, there are several shortcomings:

• No global hotkey → while one can assign a custom one to the app’s shortcut, it gets lost when upgrading the Bitwarden Desktop app via Chocolatey.
• After the search term has been entered, hitting Tab the first time highlights the account checkbox on the upper-right side. Only the second Tab hit brings me to the first search result, which I also have to highlight with Enter so that I can finally use Ctrl + U / Ctrl + P.

Furthermore, the SSH Agent’s confirmation dialog is also not that tailored for keyboard lovers - it requires several Tab hits before one can finally hit Authorize:
