| Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | comradechu | 09/08/02 23:51 | I'd love the ability to change or disable a few of the keyboard shortcuts in Chrome. I'm finding that a few of them, (ctrl+B being the most egregious example) interfere with existing keyboard shortcuts for websites such as Blogger and wikis [pbwiki] |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | dwight.stegall | 09/08/03 1:30 | Good idea. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | Venara | 09/11/18 2:56 | That would be a great feature. Currently pressing ctrl+enter adds "www." and ".com" but I'd like to set this to add "www." and ".de". |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | kevmoo | 09/12/16 8:34 | +1 - I like being able to tab into the address bar drop-down. Arrow keys are no fun. |

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | Ile | 10/05/27 19:48 | This is the only reason I cannot use Chrome exclusively. I, too, want to be able to tab into the address bar drop-down and override Chrome shortcuts that intervene with essential shortcuts for certain webpages. |

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | koreth | 10/06/08 23:47 | +1 from me too. I have never intended to navigate away from the current page when I've hit backspace and would love to disable that shortcut -- I've lost a bunch of writing to it more than once. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | DanDragomir | 10/06/16 12:49 | That's great, i hit somethig and I wake up sending mails? I hit something by mistake and it does select all and delete? What about when i type, the browser does some ALT+tab and I'm not writing in the right place? These shortcurts are all trouble! |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | Lyflovr | 10/06/18 10:07 | Since I cannot find any answer to disabling these shortcuts, I simply pop off the button on my CTL key, that way it feels different if I touch it by accident, but I can still use it if need be. Hope this helps. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | advs89 | 10/09/28 20:51 | CTRL-W closes my entire browser even if I'm in the middle of submitting a form. Often I'll be typing, and want to hit CTRL-A, and I'll miss and hit CTRL-W and instantly the entire browser closes without warning and gone is my text. All I want is th |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | nottinhill | 10/10/18 2:06 | cmd-q closes all and it is hit and miss if you want to just close a tab with cmd-w. +1 from me for this feature request. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | msurapan | 10/10/19 19:20 | I guess there should be something similar to what firefox has with "about:config" with which you can also edit the short-cuts! I prefer command+enter to control+enter on mac.. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | lethys | 10/11/14 15:34 | please make this possible, after it's finally possible to disable MB4 correctly I just found another way to accidentially go back in history that I don't care to have. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | mrmadcat | 10/11/28 5:45 | ctrl shift w is the most annoying and pointless |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | silvatek | 10/12/31 16:18 | Please provide flag to disable all keyboard shortcuts in Chrome |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | QVprof | 11/02/08 20:02 | Please not sure if Chrome has any, but TURN OFF GLOBAL HOTKEYS ctrl+shift+Nctrl+shift+G Pops open Chrome for no reason when I'm trying to use hot-keys in other Apps! |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | scottsancho | 11/02/24 4:14 | Has this been fixed yet? Typing ALT + 1 7 3 returns the current page to the home page. Or any ALT + 7 key, really. This is VERY frustrating as it makes typing punctuation in Spanish impossible! |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | spandexalii | 11/02/28 19:36 | Yeah, I've been getting pretty annoyed with the backspace shortcut in particular - I never ever use it to intentionally go back, only to accidentally leave the page I was on. I most commonly run into this when I'm playing trivia games on http://sporcle.com |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | wallerich | 11/03/24 8:55 | So, no one has an answer to this question of how to change keyboard shortcuts other than to globally disable them? Really? Lots of chatter, but no answers. Ctl-T drives me insane .. every time I type a T, a new tab opens. How do I disable this? |

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | CTrexob | 11/04/05 20:17 | Try Chrome toolbox. It allows you to add/ remove some shortcuts. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | mr.eckardt | 11/04/24 12:48 | I am working on a neat text editor based on JavaScript. However ALT + LEFT must not go back to last previous page as its expected functionality is to find the previous word boundary... |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | Tmantom | 11/05/28 15:58 | Yeah, I'd like to be able to not go back a page every time my cursor moves out of a text box and I hit backspace. Well, there goes 5 minutes worth of typing. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | graou_hyoga | 11/06/04 23:52 | This is still not adressed? It's a freaking pain in the butt. Using Toolbox doesn't help, but it shows that these morons sometimes put two different shortcuts for the same function, which conveniently prevent me from using either of these shortcuts f |

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | gtoast | 11/07/05 20:10 | Delete to go back....worst keyboard shortcut ever. The email killer. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | drewgg1234 | 11/07/29 6:34 | @CTrexob The only shortcuts that Chrome Toolbox allows you to change are the ones created by Chrome Toolbox, not any of the default Chrome shortcuts. It simply lets you look at the defauly shortcuts and add them to a quick launch menu. |

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | borouhin | 11/12/14 9:36 | There is an extension called Keyconfig, which can assign some extra shortcuts, but its capabilities are extremely limited, esp. the choice of actions to assign new shortcuts for is very poor.

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | quiquec | 12/01/16 9:07 | This would be so cool and helpful. I hate the new shortcut ⌘M on Chrome 16 . This is used to minimize the Window .

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | jakemckee | 12/01/17 13:55 | Just another vote for having an about:config option.

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | morrisii | 12/02/23 9:44 | A way to disable it is to get the extension "shortcut manager" and disable the hotkey: "CTRL+=" which is the scrolling hotkey. After I did that I haven't been troubled. |
| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | GuiHarrison | 12/02/24 6:15 | Would love to see this happen. I would add a shortcut for "paste and Go". |

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | xRok | 12/10/29 11:59 | Until Google does implement that feature in Chrome, I have found a solution that felt ingenious to me: the free application called AutoHotKey, plus some basic knowledge on how to implement the shortcut changes you need using it.

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | stretch41 | 13/02/24 11:06 | The inability to customize shortcuts is such primitive programming I am shocked at google.

| Re: Change/Disable Keyboard shortcuts | Nathan Hawks | 13/05/16 15:56 | The only reason I care about this issue, personally, is the undocumented Alt-` keystroke which hides all Chrome windows and removes them from the taskbar.
