thank you so much, just don't forget to add the shortcut in the "extenstion" menu.
Work perfectly on my chromebook.

A suggestion : can you add an other zone to add more shortcut to do nothing ? i'd like to add ctrl + shift + W also ;)

Handy program! The hotkey for placing wire in Altium Designer is Ctrl + W and when working in and out of chrome and Altium its very easy and frustrating to mistakenly begin closing part datasheets and other design references! Thank you for taking the time to build this extension!

Doesn't work. Ctrl+W still closes out the tab...

Works perfectly! In order for it to work you have to select the three bars in the top left. From there you can add your desired shortcuts.

Thank you!
It works. Just needed to go to chrome://extensions and assign Ctrl-W to this extention "do nothing" action. That did the job! :)

for it to work, go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts, set this extensions "do absolutely nothing!" keybind to Ctrl+W and then it will work.

This does not work (anymore?) for Chrome Version 86.0.4240.183 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Windows 10

Another solution that works (but disables closing the tab) I found here:
https://superuser.com/questions/569248/disable-hardwired-chrome-hot-key-ctrlw/1207752

Only solution that worked for me was to rebind ctrl+w to some extension keyboard shortcut.
go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts
add ctrl+w as shortcut to any chrome extension you like.
Now, ctrl+w does not close the browser tab.

One of most useful extensions here, no joke, just try playing an FPS browser game

I have only a few websites need to ignore ctrl-w hotkey. Can you please provide Options for the extension that can configure specific Domain or URL prefix to disable ctrl-w hotkey?

Here is the use case:

1. Install ctrlw extension
2. Configure Ctrl-W hotkey for Do absolutely nothing only for specific URL-prefixes! action
3. Configure some URL-prefixes for that action.
