### User: how can I override keybinds with tampermonkey?[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6942c9db-f3dc-8013-b29c-ff520370a65f&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: User: how can I override keybinds with tampermonkey?")

how can I override keybinds with tampermonkey?

I have already deleted two great chats on accident (including a nice cooking recipe) by typing fast and hitting Shift+Ctrl+Backspace and then Enter since the "Confirm" button is automatically highlighted. I think it happened when I'm trying to add a newline without sending the message with Shift+Enter. It feels so stupid how easily and fast it happens, I don't know if it happens easier if the chat is laggy or if my fingers are just clumsy.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? There doesn't seem to be a way to change keybinds.

They seriously should change this or at least have the dialog auto-focus on the "Cancel" button when you invoke it.

I want to null out shift ctrl backspace

Yep — you can “null out” a key combo with Tampermonkey by catching the keyboard event early (capture phase) and calling:

*   event.preventDefault() (stops browser/default behavior)
*   event.stopImmediatePropagation() (stops the site’s handlers)

Here’s a Tampermonkey userscript that blocks Ctrl+Shift+Backspace (and optionally Ctrl+Shift+Delete too), on ChatGPT:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Block Ctrl+Shift+Backspace (ChatGPT)
// @namespace local
// @version 1.0
// @description Prevent accidental destructive hotkey
// @match https://chatgpt.com/*
// @match https://chat.openai.com/*
// @run-at document-start
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
 "use strict";

 function isBlockedCombo(e) {
 // Normalize key detection across browsers:
 // Backspace = "Backspace", Delete = "Delete"
 const key = e.key;
 const ctrl = e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey; // include Cmd on macOS if you want
 const shift = e.shiftKey;

 // Primary: Ctrl+Shift+Backspace
 if (ctrl && shift && key === "Backspace") return true;

 // Optional: also block Ctrl+Shift+Delete (uncomment if desired)
 // if (ctrl && shift && key === "Delete") return true;

 return false;
 }

 function handler(e) {
 if (!isBlockedCombo(e)) return;

 // Stop everything
 e.preventDefault();
 e.stopImmediatePropagation();
 e.stopPropagation();

 // Optional: tiny debug log
 // console.debug("Blocked hotkey:", e.key, { ctrl: e.ctrlKey, shift: e.shiftKey, meta: e.metaKey });
 }

 // Capture phase so we run before the page’s listeners.
 window.addEventListener("keydown", handler, { capture: true });
})();

##### How to use it[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6942c9db-f3dc-8013-b29c-ff520370a65f&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: How to use it")

1.   Tampermonkey → Create a new script
2.   Paste the code above
3.   Save
4.   Refresh ChatGPT

##### Notes / tweaks[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6942c9db-f3dc-8013-b29c-ff520370a65f&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Notes / tweaks")

*   If you don’t want to treat Cmd as Ctrl on macOS, change: ```js const ctrl = e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey;```to:```js const ctrl = e.ctrlKey; - If the site still catches it (rare), add a second listener on document too:js document.addEventListener("keydown", handler, { capture: true });```

If you tell me your OS/browser (Windows/Mac/Linux + Chrome/Firefox), I can tailor the exact key detection (some keyboards/layouts report slightly differently).
