ChatGPT Enter Key Control (by marusin) users statistics

Prevent accidental sends when you meant to insert a line break in ChatGPT.

Press Enter for a new line. Send when you're ready with the shortcut you prefer.

ChatGPT Enter Key Control is a browser extension designed to prevent accidental sends while you're still writing, so you can send only when you're ready.

✨ Latest update (October 28, 2026)

Added Enter for new lines and configured send shortcuts in supported message composers in ChatGPT’s built-in Dots feature.

Support for standard chat, ChatGPT Work, and side chat in Work continues. No additional permissions are required.

✨ Featured feature

Includes a fix for an issue that can cause IME input to become scrambled after pasting multiple lines of text.

■ How to use

1. Install the extension
2. If ChatGPT is already open, reload the page once
3. Use Enter for new lines and Shift+Enter to send

※⚠️ IMPORTANT: If the extension does not work immediately after installation, reload the ChatGPT page once.

The extension is enabled by default, so you can start using it right away.

If you prefer, open the extension from your browser toolbar to choose another send shortcut or turn Enter-key control on or off.

■ Main features

・Enter inserts a new line instead of sending immediately ・Send only when you're ready ・Choose your preferred send shortcut ・Supports shortcuts such as Shift+Enter, Ctrl+Enter, Cmd+Enter, and Shift+Cmd+Enter ・Designed to work smoothly with IME input ・Helps reduce IME input issues that can occur after pasting multiple lines of text ・Helps prevent unintended duplicate sends caused by holding down a key ・Settings can be changed anytime from the extension popup

■ IME input after pasting multiple lines

In some environments, IME input may become scrambled after pasting multiple lines of text.

The extension adjusts the handling of supported simple multiline text pastes so that you can continue typing with IME more smoothly afterward.

It does not interfere with unsupported paste types such as HTML, rich text, images, files, or URLs, allowing the original paste behavior to take priority.

■ Supported service

The extension supports the official ChatGPT web version.

Both the current web version and the legacy domain are supported.

■ Not supported

The extension is designed for safely identifiable supported ChatGPT message composers, including standard chat, Work mode, side chat in ChatGPT Work, and ChatGPT Dots.

It does not apply to input fields inside dialogs or fields that cannot be reliably identified as supported composers.

It also does not apply to web services other than ChatGPT.

■ Privacy and security

・No input content is collected ・No conversation content is collected ・No input content is stored ・No input or conversation content is sent to external servers ・Only the permissions required for supported features are used ・The source code is publicly available on GitHub

■ About site permissions

This extension uses site access permissions to control Enter-key behavior in supported chat input fields.

The extension does not collect, store, or transmit your input or conversation content.

Site access permissions are used only to control Enter-key behavior in supported input fields.
