Change keyboard shortcut for select in finder?

[scottfwalter]

Is there a way to change what the keyboard shortcut for select in Finder.  Currently its CMD-OPT-\.   This shortcut is conflicting with 1Password.

 

Thanks, Scott.

Yes. Open preferences and go to Features → File Search → Actions. At the bottom you’ll find the appropriate setting, File Selection.

It might be good to change the default to move away from the 1Password one? This is a fairly niche feature, and there is likely to be a large overlap between Alfred and 1Password users.

I don’t think that claim can be substantiated without data. You’re arguing that from every person that buys Alfred’s powerpack, more bought an extra app and use a particular feature of it than all that use an Alfred native feature.

 

Even if it were a niche feature, then it wouldn’t matter because you wouldn’t call it that much anyway for it to be an issue. It’s so easy to change the shortcut (in either app), and there are so few complaints (just this one?) that I don’t see it as a real necessity. Furthermore, I use the same shortcut in both apps, and never get confused: my brain just assumes that being in Chrome or the Finder will call one or the other.

 

I’m not opposed to changing the default, I just have my doubts that argument holds as a reason to do it.
