Stop Backspace key shortcut taking you back to previous page.
Have you ever pressed the "backspace" key only to find that Chrome has taken you to the previous page?
Chrome has a keyboard shortcut for the "Backspace" button which when pressed takes you to the previous web address. Most users don't use this and to their frustration and probably yours, Chrome takes you to the previous page. This often happens when you have spent time to type something lengthy in an online form only to lose all that work.
This extension mediates in those cases and disables the backspace key shortcut from ruining your productivity. It allows the conventional use of the backspace key as a text delete key.
NO ADWARE. NO TROJANS. NO VIRUSES.
This is an update to the BackStop extension developed by Matt Cranham. It fixes the issues brought up in the comments.

This has worked for me in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Essentially, if you're typing in a text box and your cursor wanders to the main page and out of the text box, then pressing the 'backspace' button takes you back to the previous page rather than the previous space inside the text, thus losing all the work you've created. This stopped that problem just as advertised. |

Works in the address bar, but not in the text fields. In fact, I can't even backspace in this review! Instead i have to highlight and type over it. |
