Chrome - stop shift+enter from creating a new chrome window from a password field












5















Is it possible to do this?



My problem is some of my passwords end in an upper-case letter or a special character that requires the SHIFT key to be held down. When I finish typing and press ENTER, I end up pressing shift+enter which causes a new chrome window to pop up.



I like Chrome but this is very annoying.

  • I just entered this comment, now hit SHIFT_ENTER --> no new window for me. Where are you seeing this behaviour ?

I solved this issue on my Mac using the app Keyboard Maestro. From within Keyboard Maestro, I created a Chrome-specific shortcut that makes "shift+return" (i.e., "shift+enter") execute a simple return/enter (i.e., as if shift hadn't been pressed). Works like a charm.



(I'm guessing similar software is available for Windows and other OS's, but I don't know for sure.)

    A friend of mine had a similar problem so I whipped up this Chrome userscript for him. The way it works is if you are in a password field and press SHIFT+ENTER it will stop the keypress event from propagating and instead try to submit the form.

    Hope it helps!

      If you have Better Touch Tool, you can create a keyboard shortcut for shift+enter and have it map to enter. This will override the Chrome behavior.
