Bingo, me too. I like that keepass is file based so I can use any storage medium to make multiple layers of security to access the vault. Even if cloud providers have access to the file or my cloud storage account gets hacked they still have to crack the file to get the passowrds. Also I have been using strongbox pro for a few years now and been very happy, in fact I like it better than what 1password used to be. Worth every penny. KeepassXC has also been great.

I've been considering a switch from 1Password to KeepassXC myself, but the last time I tried it, I couldn't find if KeepassXC has some equivalent to the "quick access" feature of 1Password.[0] In short, a way to open a small window, search for a service name or URL, and then quickly copy username, password, or a TOTP code. As far as I could tell, I had to open the entire KeepassXC app every time to find something. Has this changed, or did I miss something somehow?

That's a useful feature. Maybe you want to create a ticket for it in the KeepassXC issue tracker.
Looks like there's already a similar issue.[0] Lots of discussion but no solution yet.
