Reviews & Comments of Disable keyboard shortcuts chrome extension

On Edge, it literally doesn't work, it's just fainted and can't be useable. I wanted to get rid of the CTRL + B keyboard shortcut on Edge because it pops up/removes the favorites bar where I set it as "favorites bar only show at new tabs" so it always resets. (And yes, I'm opening an InPrivate or Incognito and misclicks).

Постоянно жал на Command+D вместо сохранения и много чего другого, раздражало. Поставил расширение, указал это сочетание и теперь горя не знаю.

Doesn't work for all shortcuts. I just want to be able to use superscript in google docs with Ctrl + but this extension only works for shortcuts that use letters. Terrible.

DOESNT WORK FOR CTRL + = I AM LIVID!

Interesting but useless in my case. Not only it disables the shortcut in Chrome but also in any displayed page. So it cannot be used to disable all the shortcuts Chrome is using for itself, making them unavailable for HTML scripts like editors and so on.

Neat extension, but useless if it doesn't support shift. I'm trying to disable "Shift+Enter", which creates a new window when nobody asked for one.

Can't disable "Command + [". Only limited to "Command + alphabet".

Thanks for making this, couldn't find any other way to modify the native default shortcuts. Combine this with the Keyboard Shortcuts extension to change a shortcut to new hotkeys.

I need to use keyboard shortcuts often before this extension I was frustrated because sometimes I was hitting the wrong key e.g. Control+Shift+C it opens the Elements panel but I assigned that shortcut to do something else with an external app, after this extension I'm no more frustrated.

Configure shortcuts here: chrome://extensions/shortcuts It's a shame an extension is required to disable Ctrl+Shift+W, but at least this extension works well!

This works great. UX isn't easy to access, but just need to go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in order to turn off specific shortcuts.

Fantastic, install, enable and go to: 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts' into the address bar to enter the shortcuts you want ignored - works for ctrl+P, ctrl+N etc. very happy with this, it should be a built in Chrome feature in my opinion. ?

i just want to disable f11 and what ever brings up the console. 2 things that i will never use on purpose, and regularly seem to hit and it gets to the point of aggravating.... this extension does nothing to remedy this problem. also screw chrome for not giving you the ability to do this manually ffs...

Installed this and it did what I needed it to immediatly, thank you!!

Didn't work for Command-Option-F ("Command + Alt + F"). I mapped "Enter Full Screen" to Command-Option-F in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > Google Chrome. Because that is way less RSI-inducing than Command-Control-F. But Chrome doesn't cooperate most of the time because it wants Command-Option-F to be 'search google via the address bar'. And I can't unset that via System Preferences by setting it to something else because it doesn't appear anywhere in Chrome's menu bar. And this extension doesn't seem to do the trick either. It won't even remember that I set Command-Option-F to "Do nothing" if I close and reopen chrome://extensions/shortcuts. I guess Google really really wants it to remain 'search google via the address bar' lol. Because they don't have enough money apparently.

Like Bob Smith, I needed to disable some key combinations so my webapp could use them. Unfortunately, it appears that the Ctrl+# shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc. which are the most useless shortcuts I've ever seen, seriously, I have never EVER needed to jump to a specific numbered window, and for numbers greater than 1 or 2 it would take more time to count over to figure out which key to hit than it would be to just mouse over) do not get sent to my web app when they are disabled from their default function. So uh, nice extension I guess, but useless for me.

Works great, thanks

can't get rid of F1..That's a bummer but I can disable other shortcuts like ctrl+D with this so it's great. Many thanks.

Does what it says on the box! ? Just make sure you paste 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts' into the address bar first! And then you can set the shortcuts to disable! ?

The page comes up but I can't type anything into the "Not Set" box.

I need to disable Alt+[ and Alt+] so that they are seen by my underlying app. I've read that this extension works for some Alt+ and Ctrl+ combinations but not all. Presumably, the two keys I need disabled are in the "not all" category. The name "Disable Keyboard Shortcuts" suggests (to me) a broader usage case than it actually covers. I appreciate that you are at the mercy of the OS, but someplace in the description you could list the actual shortcuts you can disable (e.g., Alt+A to Z and Ctrl+A to Z) so as to be more transparent rather than making the users activate the extension and be frustrated by not being able to disable their desired keystrokes. Also, please make it clear whether or not "disabling" allows the keystroke to be passed on to an underlying app or it is just dead.

Doesn't even work for the MOST COMMONLY hated shortcut - Shift+Enter. SO many times have I hit that on accident while working and it completely interrupts what I am doing by opening a new page. And this shortcut can't even get rid of it. Useless.

This is exactly what I've been looking for, except I can't get it to work with the one shortcut that I really needed it for - Ctrl++ (increases the browser font size). It works fine for shortcuts like Ctrl+V. How can I get it to work with the zoom shortcut? Thanks!

chrome://extensions/shortcuts to re-assign key-shortcuts This absolutely *needs* to be in added to the the text of the _description_. While 'visible' in the web store screenshot, I had to scan reviews to get this piece of information because the extension _is not_ self documenting; It's completely useless except to those of us who will discover it on their own, or will search for that information. (BTW, dev; Web Store crushes screenshots to a default size of 512x320 or 640x400, but the default "Extensions" width is 680px if you want to re-render it in a more legible size.)

Does work

Great one

I can't speak for any other shortcuts but for the one I wanted to disable, Ctrl+Shift+C that opens the console, this works perfectly. *** DON'T FORGET*** - The "Options" menu is greyed out by the very nature of how this extension works. IT'S NOT A BUG! To configure which shortcuts you want to disable: 1) Copy and paste chrome://extensions/shortcuts into the address bar and hit enter 2) Scroll down to the "Disable keyboard shortcuts" extension and click the Edit icon (pencil) 3) Type the shortcut key combination you want to disable

thanks a lot works perfect. Now my friends can do ctrl+shift+q+q(signs u out)

How to deploy it by group policy. It seems the keys cannot disable even the extension has been deployed by policy

F1 still opens the google help tab. Useless extension.

WONDERFUL! One of those "Should be a feature in Chrome already" extensions. I switch between using Chrome in Mac OS and Chrome in Windows. This extension has stopped me randomly shuffling between open tabs, creating new browser windows, or back a page whenever I accidentally hit the wrong keys or a Mac combo.

The Options menu item is greyed out. I'm using the latest chrome. I have no problems with any other extensions and have not denied any permission to this extension.

I'd like to have it and use it, but it simply doesn't work. Options is inactive. All I can do is visit chrome web store page of this extention, disable it and allow in inkognito mode... Great! Probably it's just versions incompatibility, I don't know, but for now it doesn't work.

It's a great ext! (In case it actually works :) Yet another extension to solve simple stupid problem in chrome... already have dozens of them installed, but there is no other way. However, need more slots. In my case ctrl+<number> combinations took almost all fields.

doesnt work

Please link the plugin "Options" to chrome://extensions/shortcuts - I guess most users don't read the line in the instruction. Thanks.

Can i override the the short cut ? Rather than just disabling the shortcut can we override the shortcut to perform the other functions

Not sure how to use it... How can I disable a shortcut?

Exactly what I was looking for to get rid of the stupid back and forward shortcut keys (which screw you over when typing an email in Gmail for example)

Does not allow disabling the F1 (Chrome Help) Keyboard Shortcut.

Great! This is exactly what I've been looking for! the only issue is I need to be able to disable all shortcuts (all letter and number keys) and there aren't enough slots for me to able to do so.

Wow this is great! Thank you thank you thank you. Now in emacs when my fingers type control-N nothing happens... which is one thousand percent better than having six new browser windows appear and needing to kill them all manually and train to reach for arrow keys. Next step, provide a passthrough option so the control-N can be seen by the emacs? Is it easy? THANKS AGAIN

Perfect! I needed to disable CMD-D (new bookmark) because I hit it when I'm aiming for CMD-F (and bookmark collections are just so 1990s). I also disabled CMD-M (minimize) because it's so annoying when my window just vanishes.

Only just started using this so this is a short term review, but what issue this extension solves is my difficulty with "CTRL+R". While navigating pages, I often check the links before posting them, so I use "CTRL+T" to open a new tab, before pasting the link. That being said, as the T and R are just one letter off, once every couple of weeks I'll reload my current page instead of opening a new tab. This can mean a loss of a few seconds to dozens of minutes of work. This saved me a lot of frustration, and I appreciate that it doesn't require any permissions. Thanks Developer!

Didn't work

This is exactly what I needed to stop interrupting my workflow! I turned RoamResearch.com into a web app using Chrome which was great, but since it looks like an app now I kept trying to save my work by pressing Cmd + S, just out of habit. I kept being pulled out of what I was by doing in order to exit out of Chrome's Save popup box, but this extension lets me disable that interruption. Thanks!

Does exactly what it says: blocks alt+* and ctrl+* shortcuts. Except I'm trying to find a way to disable that annoying "f1" key for help. Would it be possible for you to include that in the next update? Thanks!

Fantastic, quick and dirty fix for a 'feature' of Chrome that has caused me many hours of lost work (Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Shift+W). Thank you!

it doesn't work for any of the keys, and the website shown doesn't work either

hey uh, i cant even open it for some stupid reason, any idea why? i really need to get rid of control w.

I can't disable shortcuts on specific sites or shortcuts like F4

Great but... it doesn't do the one thing I need which is to let me block Left Arrow or Right Arrow. I use a media website that I can't use my mouse buttons on because simply clicking left or right changes the dang track. Help!

Really useful, disabled the stupid 'close all windows' shortcut that Chrome enforces upon all users. Recommended.

Works for most shortcuts, but can't seem to disable the F1 key bringing up the help menu.

awesome i love it it works perfectly

Hmm, it does what it says, but not what I needed. I was looking for a way to disable some Youtube shortcuts. Unfortunately, all the other extensions I found so far are all or nothing. I saw the screenshot and the ability to choose what keys to disable and found this but it only accepts CTRL/ALT+key. Is there a way for you to adapt this extension to include single keypresses without modifiers and apply only to specific webistes?

Perfection

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Needed this so badly! Super useful! Wish I can disable even more shortcuts! :)

Actually works!! Does something which should have been implemented in chrome years ago.

The only extension that actually works for this, thank you!
