So with 1Password I have the option of pressing CTRL+ALT+\ To open the desktop application to get my app passwords. I am an IT guy and I use my vault for like 50% web and like 50% desktop and server logins so I have to copy out the user names and passwords and I need a quick hot key to open my vault quickly. I cannot seen to find a shortcut for opening the app when its running in the tray.

I have no idea if such a short cut exists. Not only that control shift L doesn’t auto fill crap. I hope this improves. I can’t recommend it at this time not until or unless my issues are resolved. With 1Password it just worked.
I think the alternative is to use the Pin to Taskbar and the shortcut to open the needed app with Winkey + [number]
Instructions for Windows 10 & 11:
- Find the Bitwarden Desktop App icon in the Start Menu or in the “All Apps” list (accessible from the Start Menu).
- Right-click the app icon, and select “Open file location” (in the “All Apps” list, you may first have to select “More”). This should take you to a Bitwarden shortcut icon in Windows Explorer.
- Right-click the shortcut icon, and select “Properties”. This should open a “Bitwarden Properties” window with multiple tabs.
- Go to the “Shortcut” tab in the Properties window, and look for the field named “Shortcut key” with the value “
None”. - In the “Shortcut key” field, place the cursor at the end of the word “
None”, and type a single backslash character (\), or any other character of your choice. The field should now read “Ctrl + Alt + \”. - Click OK.
You should now be able to launch the app using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+\.
If you prefer, you can press a function key (F1–F12) in Step 5, in which case the function key by itself will launch the app.
