Description
ChatGPT Enter Key Control helps prevent accidental Enter-key sends while writing in ChatGPT.
Use Enter for new lines, then send with Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Enter, Cmd+Enter, Shift+Cmd+Enter, or another supported send mode.
[Updated in v1.3.7] Enter-key control in ChatGPT Dots
Use Enter for new lines and your configured send shortcut in supported input fields in ChatGPT's built-in Dots feature. Support for standard chat, ChatGPT Work, and side chat in Work continues. No additional permissions are required. The extension applies only when the supported input field can be safely identified.
[Updated in v1.3.6] Enter-key control in ChatGPT Work's built-in side chat
ChatGPT Work's built-in side chat opens from the menu shown when you select text. Version 1.3.6 adds Enter for new lines and configured send-shortcut control in that input field.
You can use these controls in both the main chat and side chat when they are open together. The extension applies only when the supported input field can be safely identified.
[Updated in v1.3.4] Fixed send shortcuts in ChatGPT Work
Version 1.3.4 fixes an issue where configured send shortcuts could stop working in ChatGPT Work after changes to ChatGPT's input form.
The fix was verified in a Work environment where sending had previously failed. Standard ChatGPT chat input remains supported.
This does not guarantee compatibility with every possible ChatGPT input field or future ChatGPT UI changes.
Enter for new lines
Use Enter to add line breaks so you can finish longer prompts, notes, and drafts before sending.
Send with your chosen shortcut
Choose Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Enter, Cmd+Enter, Shift+Cmd+Enter, or another supported send mode to keep line breaks and sending as separate actions.
IME-aware input
The extension is designed to avoid interfering with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other composition-based input methods.
Improved IME behavior after multi-line paste
In some environments, IME input can become unstable after pasting multi-line plain text into ChatGPT.
The extension adjusts supported plain-text paste handling to reduce this issue. The workaround applies to eligible multi-line plain text pasted into an empty supported input field. HTML, images, files, single-line URLs, and other ineligible paste content are left unchanged.
Duplicate-send safeguards
Repeated key events, such as those caused by holding a send shortcut, are ignored to reduce accidental duplicate sends.
Mac support
Mac users can choose Cmd+Enter or Shift+Cmd+Enter as send shortcuts.
Improved settings layout
Version 1.3.5 reorganizes the extension popup to make detailed settings, extension links, and version information easier to read across all seven supported UI languages.
Designed for ChatGPT
The extension is designed for the official ChatGPT web experience and does not run on other AI services.
Privacy and local processing
The extension does not collect, store, or send your input or conversation content to external servers. Settings and keyboard behavior are processed locally in your browser.
Privacy and security
The extension does not collect data or communicate with external servers.
It runs only on ChatGPT.
