Lets you set browser keyboard shortcuts containing Ctrl and Alt keys (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Shift+C, etc.) to do nothing. Just head on over to chrome://extensions/shortcuts and assign away! Small, simple, and requires no permissions.

Straight to the point, works as advertised. Disable ⌘-D "Add Bookmark" bc it's so close to actually used and useful shortcut ⌘-F "Find in page". Thank you for this extension!

Sven van Bommel 2025-08-12

Very easy to use, works very well for me. I used this to set macros for my mouse because whenever i told it to open a new tab, well, it opened a new tab. 10/10 should just be a feature in Chrome itself

Im trying to disable Ctrl W to close a tab but it closes the config tab when trying to configure it to disable Ctrl W. Need to allow manual typing of the command or something to bypass it.

Josh Owen 2025-07-26

INSTRUCTIONS. you must open a browser tab and type chrome://extensions/shortcuts then press enter. Here you set the shortcuts that you want OFF. for example, click the edit pen then press on your physical keyboard CTRL + R. this will set OFF this setting for Chrome. PROBLEM PLEASE FIX: cannot set CTRL + T because it opens a tab right away and doesn't change the case. If I type by hand CTRL + T then I cannot set it for Chrome in the second case because the second case is set only automatically.

Jon Cormier 2025-07-25

simple. elegant. functional. should come by default. 5/5

Bruno Ramos 2025-07-07

Stopped CTRL-W closing tab issue, thank god

Kate McKenzie 2025-07-01

Does the job. Just don't overlook the unintuitive fact that it needs to be configured in Chrome Extension Shortcuts, rather than the extension itself.

Trent Isaacson 2025-06-08

Can't set a Ctrl + Alt shortcut, which was the only purpose I had for it. :(

Joey Garner 2025-05-16

Doesn't work, or is so unintuitive it can't be reasonably figured out. I installed the plugin > restarted my browser (just incase) > clicked on the plugin in the panel section of my nav bar > no options open up this tool. The tool is greyed out (not active state) for no apparent reason.

Martin Wermers-Pauly 2025-04-04

Tried to use this extension to disable tab-switching via option-command + arrow keys left/right, but this did not work at all (while other deactivations like command-p worked). 🤷‍♂️

Anas KASMI 2025-04-02

good for fixing the cmd + w closing tab issue ! thank you !

aboba is still funny? 2025-03-22

perfect!!!!!!!!!

אלון צוקר 2025-03-03

Simply works. Death to Ctrl+Shift+W!!!!

Wang Andi 2025-03-01

tried disabling ctrl + n and it just open a new tab.

Charlie Nguyen 2025-02-24

You guys need to go to the Chrome Extensions Shortcuts to ADD the Keyboard shortcuts you want to disable. It works!

David Kauffman 2025-01-29

Works perfectly disabling ctrl+d for bookmarks - something I assure nobody in the history of chrome usage has wanted macro'd to a key so close to C and F.

Space Doge 2025-01-20

Doesn't work with num lock, so if i press ctrl numpad1 it still goes to the first tab. Please add more keys.

Micamaster100 2025-01-11

tried disabling ctrl + w and it just closed the shortcuts tab.

Alex King 2024-12-19

Does not work as of december 2024

John Rhee 2024-12-17

Disabling Ctrl-K, for instance, not only disables Edge's unwelcome "jump to URL" function (Alt-D already does this), but it also disables the shortcut for ANY webpage (e.g., shortcut for adding hyperlink in Confluence and other webpages/docs).

Gewalee Lek 2024-12-16

It's simple stupid and it works! Suggestion: make the "how to configure" instructions more noticeable, as I believe many users won't read the extension description :P

Krstia no 2024-11-20

i couldnt play AI minecraft cuz i kept press CTRL and W to run and it closed the window each time i looked so stupid and my friends laughed at me on discord lmao but now this solved my problem thank u dev

Swivelgames 2024-11-11

No more hitting Alt+Left/Alt+Right and ruining whatever I've typed just because I switched platforms and wanted to jump a word, not go to the previous page. THANK YOU.

Paul Irish 2024-10-07

Simple and works. Viewed the source and it's as minimal as possible.

John Giles (fLex0) 2024-10-03

Bad. Can't unbind F11 or F12. Only CTRL / SHIFT shortcuts can be removed.

Froot Ponchi 2024-10-01

Thank you, solves my issue of it constantly trying to create bookmarks when I accidentally hit ctrl D instead of ctrl F

Corey Barber 2024-09-26

Wonderful and useful! At my job I have to scan barcodes and sometimes the computer will think I'm doing a "Ctrl + J" input and open up the download history. Very annoying. Thanks to this, it's no longer an issue!

Abel V 2024-09-21

does the job

Artem Plakhotniy 2024-08-20

works as expected

SYX Productions 2024-08-01

terrible cant use it

Nicolette Stockwell 2024-07-18

Wow, amazing and simple and should be included natively in Chrome.

Dario Barriga 2024-07-11

Thanks. Now i can play the FNF Matt Mod in peace

Greg Hough 2024-07-03

Excellent! added that damn ctrl d and it's gone baby! can't wait to set more.

muhammad jeff 2024-06-29

i done disabled: ctrl + d = create bookmark ctrl + shift + w = close all tab chrome go go go go head so good she an honor roll she ride ride like a carnival i done did the impossible woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dave McAnulty 2024-06-20

Working 2024, you do have to go into the extension and set what shortcuts you want ignored. I finally got rid of ctrl-d

aya h 2024-06-10

not working. the shortcuts are working.

Hamid Ouahssoune 2024-04-25

add a way to Pause the extension (turn off/on)

Nick Bailey 2024-04-18

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). Can't get it to disable the useless Ctrl+Tab shortcut as that immediately switches to the next tab.

Dmytro Korolkov 2024-03-05

I'm using alt+num7 quite often for the bullet sign. Instead Chrome moves me to some stupid inner page, in case Num is not activated. I guess there are a lot of such issues. This extension helps to avoid such problem.

konstabark 2024-03-03

The only problem is that it can only catch Ctrl/Alt + "letter" type of shortcuts (e.g. not Ctrl + Tab). Aside from that it is works perfectly good!

Zaw Min Thein 2024-02-29

Works great. 2024

Vitor Mourão 2024-02-22

Works very easy, but you should place a button or menu link in the extension to the page: chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Marco Lackovic 2024-02-21

To use it click on the "Extensions" icon, then "Manage extensions", from the left menu select "Keyboard shortcuts", in the "Disable keyboard shortcuts" panel click on an "Edit" icon to add a shortcut you want to disable.

刺猬 2024-02-19

I don‘t how to open it but it work before

P Roper 2024-02-10

I installed this to disable Gmail's stupid ctrl-Enter (send email) shortcut, that is ALWAYS on even if I disable Gmail's useless shortcuts. But it is not possible to enter "ctrl-enter" in the shortcuts field of this extension's settings. So I'm uninstalling it.

oin C 2024-02-01

nice!

Nyla Joseph 2024-01-27

Can't disable alt+home shortcut within Chrome (which resets current tab to Home). This is what I often hit accidentally, since the keys are sensitive and right next to each other and under my hand!

Martinel Clark (Drago Cuven) 2024-01-25

As a game dev who uses turbowarp, this extension has really helped and is pretty much the only way i can properly use the ctrl and alt keys in my projects

Victor Zhao 2024-01-16

Very useful for me. I needed to disable Ctrl+Shift+W since my new mechanic keyboard is too sensitive that whenever I pressed Ctrl+W I always accidentally triggered Ctrl+Shift+W and closed all tabs. This issue has been solved thanks to this wonderful, easy-to-use extension!
