Disable keyboard shortcuts Extension

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.

Nick Bailey (ID: 0000009fb193bcf0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/18/2024 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.

G Gordon (ID: 000000d1d2a47f0a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/06/2023 very nice!!!!!!!!!

Роман Папуша (ID: 000000ccf494a36a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 Just amazing! Extremely simple and elegant solution! Bravo, developers!

mohmad 2 (ID: 0000002c6682916c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/07/2023 Why not just list the checkboxes disable keyboard shortcuts instead of adding them manually

Philippe Verdy (ID: 000000ef563f3162) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/06/2023 The only safe way to easily disable the damned shortcut CTRL+W (that closes a tab instantly without any confirmation, this is most often undesired when you were doing a long editing session that cannot be restored, and you pressed CTRL+W instead of CTRL+X for a "cut" operation before pasting. Note that on a French keyboard, the W key is just next to the X key, your finger can slide a bit and the result is just... catastrophic). CTRL+W is not saving time, it's just a costs a lot of work time (you don't need it: close any tab by clicking the "x" box on the top bar of the tab and forget that CTRL+W shortcut). IMHO, Google Chrome, or any other Chromium-based browsers (including MS Edge) should not need to install and run any browser extension to disable this CTRL+W shortcut: this should be natively managed in the user's preferences panel (an IMHO, CTRL+W should be turned off by default to do nothing).
