I have never used the setting so far. The current setting in 1Password on the Mac I am using right now is CMD + S, that does not work of course.

Yes, there's a dedicated key for backslash on US keyboards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#United_States

Yup, it's been there for a long time. For at least as long as I've been a user.

We had trouble with 1Password 3 and non-US keyboards, but the new app should be MUCH better at handling non-US keyboard layouts. So change that shortcut however you see fit :)

I just can't promise a t-shirt for your chosen replacement of the shortcut (see our blog.agilebits.com header for this one).

Your t-shirts look great!

I don't expect a t-shirt from you but maybe you could provide a template?

We do sell the command+\ shirts :)

They're "at cost" so we're not making money on the shirts but our users really loved them so we found a way to at least make them available at a reasonable price.
