Gmail in Chrome: how to disable the Cmd (or Ctrl) + Enter shortcut for sending

Question

I have searched for disabling the Cmd+Enter shortcut (or Ctrl+Enter sous Windows) for sending the composed email in Gmail in Chrome, but did not find any solutions.

Hope that somebody can help. Thank you very much in advance.

Solution

According to this page: (official help) https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6594?hl=en

Some shortcuts are always on. Including Cmd + Enter. It seems you cannot turn it off.

Btw I found this help page from Gmail Settings > General tab > Keyboard shortcuts section, "Learn more" link next to the radio buttons to turn shortcuts on or off. The help page seems to be the authoritative doc.

Yeah, this has caused me to prematurely send so many emails as I am copying/pasting and adding spaces/new lines...

Thanks. Obviously I had already seen that help page. I posted the question hoping somebody here can have some hacking solutions to do that, for example overriding that shortcut with an action of the system or the browser. I came across a solution for Safari but that one is not applicable to Chrome :(

That wasn't obvious at all. It would have been very useful if you have included this in your question and specified that you're looking for a hack.

this is in the first "General" settings tab now.

A trick I use for emails that I don't to be sent prematurely is to add an email address xyz to the recipients list. Gmail will barf and not send when it sees an incorrectly formatted email address. The fallback - if I haven't remembered to do that - is clicking on Undo within a few seconds. The annoying thing is that in Gmail, Ctrl-Enter in the body of an email sends it, Shift-Enter inserts a newline. In Google Sheets Ctrl-Enter in the cell editor inserts a newline, Shift-Enter moves up one cell, so I always get caught when swapping between the two.
