Description
Press Enter for a new line. Send when you're ready.
Gemini Enter Key Control helps prevent accidental Enter-key sends while writing in Gemini and other supported Google services. Use Enter for new lines, then send with Shift+Enter by default—or choose Ctrl+Enter, Cmd+Enter, Shift+Cmd+Enter, or another supported send mode.
Enter for new lines, send with your shortcut
Keep line breaks and sending as separate actions so you can finish longer prompts and messages before sending.
Turn services on or off individually
Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Google Chat, Google Flow, and Google Search AI Mode can each be enabled or disabled separately. Services that are turned off keep their native keyboard behavior.
Google Search AI Mode
Enter-key control can be enabled for supported Google Search AI Mode conversation inputs on www.google.com. Access to www.google.com is requested only when you explicitly enable this feature.
Regular Google Search and unsupported input fields are left unchanged.
Google Chat on the web and inside Gmail
The extension supports Google Chat at chat.google.com and Google Chat inside Gmail.
Inside Gmail, only Google Chat input fields are affected. Email composition, reply, forwarding, subject, and search fields are not affected. Google Meet chat is not currently supported.
Google Flow
Both the legacy Google Flow experience and the current flow.google.com experience are supported.
The current Flow experience requires optional site access. Enter-key control on current flow.google.com is active only in Shift+Enter mode. In other send modes, the extension does not control line breaks or sending on current Flow. This behavior has been verified on Windows / Chrome. Current Flow behavior on Mac has not been verified. On legacy Google Flow, sending with Cmd+Enter and Shift+Cmd+Enter is not supported.
Gemini Notebook
Gemini Notebook is supported on both notebook.google.com and the legacy notebooklm.google.com domain. Source-search fields are not affected.
Mac and IME-aware input
On supported services, Mac users can choose Cmd+Enter or Shift+Cmd+Enter. IME-aware behavior is designed to avoid interfering with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other composition-based input methods.
Optional site access only when needed
Google Search AI Mode and the current Google Flow experience use optional site permissions. Permission is requested only when you explicitly enable those features.
Installing or automatically updating the extension does not by itself grant or request those optional site permissions.
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, and the source code is published on GitHub.

FAQ
What happens when I press Enter?
Enter inserts a new line instead of sending the message. You can send with Shift+Enter by default, or choose another shortcut such as Ctrl+Enter, Cmd+Enter, or Shift+Cmd+Enter.
What is the default send shortcut?
The extension is enabled by default, with Shift+Enter as the default send shortcut. You can change the shortcut and turn Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Google Chat, Google Flow, and Google Search AI Mode on or off individually in the popup. Turning the master Enter-key control off preserves your service selections.
Do I need to reload Gemini after installation?
If Gemini or another supported page was already open during installation or an update, reload it once so the extension can apply. After that, changes made from the extension popup are applied without a reload in most cases.
Can I use Cmd+Enter on Mac?
Yes. On supported services such as Gemini, Gemini Notebook, and Google Chat, Mac users can choose Cmd+Enter or Shift+Cmd+Enter. Google Search AI Mode also supports these settings. Current flow.google.com behavior on Mac has not been verified and is not guaranteed. On legacy Google Flow, sending with Cmd+Enter and Shift+Cmd+Enter is not supported.
Which Google services are supported?
The extension works in supported input fields in Gemini, Gemini Notebook at notebook.google.com and notebooklm.google.com, Google Chat on the web and inside Gmail, Google Flow, and Google Search AI Mode.

Google Meet chat, regular Google Search, and unsupported input fields are excluded. The browser's built-in Gemini side panel is not supported.
Can I use it in Google Search AI Mode?
Yes. Enter-key control works in supported Google Search AI Mode conversation input fields on www.google.com. Enabling this feature requests optional site access to www.google.com. Regular Google Search and input fields that cannot be identified as supported are left unchanged.
Can I use Enter for a new line in Google Flow?
Yes. Both legacy Google Flow at labs.google/fx and current Flow at flow.google.com are supported. Current Flow requires optional site access. Enter-key control on current flow.google.com is active only in Shift+Enter mode. In other send modes, the extension does not control line breaks or sending on current Flow. This behavior has been verified on Windows / Chrome. Current Flow behavior on Mac has not been verified. On legacy Google Flow, sending with Cmd+Enter and Shift+Cmd+Enter is not supported.
