Starting 1Password with LaunchBar
Thursday, December 16th, 2010Launchbar and 1Password are two of these nifty tools, that make working on OSX both even more easy and fun. Unfortunately starting 1Password with LaunchBar does not work, because as soon as you type in the “1″, LaunchBar goes into calculator mode. You could of course disable the calculator, but I personally need this function a couple of times every day.
Here’s how to start 1Password with Launchbar without going into Calculator mode.
Choose “Show Index” from the LaunchBar menu. You need to hit your LaunchBar keyboard combo to show the menu.

Choose “Applications” and edit the “1Password” field by slowly clicking twice (no double click).
Change “1Password” to “OnePassword” or whatever you want to call it. Close and save the Index window.
You can now start 1Password by starting to type “OnePassword”. This doesn’t change the name of the application file, you have just changed the name you have to type to start the application. Actually you could customize all references in LaunchBar like this.
Hope this helped!
