Disable keyboard shortcuts

This doesn't seem to do anything at all. All CTRL key hotkeys still work in Chrome with this extension enabled.

doesn't even work

chrome://extensions/shortcuts is available with or without this add-on. The link "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" has to be typed manually, I mean the icon of this add-on doesn't even open a webpage for you. It's pure emptiness. The shortcuts are the exact same with or without this turd. And it doesn't change anything about F1->F12 hotkeys which are the most annoying ones. Useless, with a big U.

dosent work

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.

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.

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). 🤷‍♂️

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

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

Does not work as of december 2024

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

not working. the shortcuts are working.

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.

I need to disable Ctrl-W however I can't put Ctrl-W in because...it closes the tab, which is why I want to disable the shortcut. So for me this extension is useless.

Why not just list the checkboxes disable keyboard shortcuts instead of adding them manually

Only works for letters. Useless to me. I don't know a lot about coding but is it really that much harder to include non-letter combos?? SO many people here tried this extension for that specific purpose.

I don't understand how this extension works? I don't see any option to change the shortcut, when I click on the extension I can only remove or disable it.

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).

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!

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

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...

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

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.

F1 still opens the google help tab. Useless extension.

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.

doesnt work

Didn't work

Does not support disabling of F keys

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

Works only SOMETIMES. I assign a whole bunch of keybinds for web gaming, and they get disregarded after 2 minutes of them being established. I set it to Global, doesn't work. This has potential, but I can't really use it myself.

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

terrible cant use it

Doesn't save the configuration. I define the shortcuts to do nothing, the shortcuts still work. I reload the page, the shortcuts are blank now, as if I had done nothing. I'm on Mac, Chrome Version 116.0.5845.96

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.

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

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

You have to manually type in chrome://extensions/shortcuts to chrome and then you can use this extension to make keyboard shortcuts do nothing. It works for what I want it to block (Ctrl+Alt+B), but it would have been helpful for it to have a link to that page. I had to go to the reviews to figure out how to use it.

I had hoped it would allow me to disable F1 going to the help page ( I hit it too much while typing) but it only works for CTRL or ALT stuff.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.)

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

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