CTRL+A opens adblock

Post by pieguy6mc »

So in google chrome, and probably in general, ctrl + a selects everything on a page. Well for me it opens the adblock plus menu. All the tutorials are for back before Chrome redid it's settings menus, so the simple "FIND KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS BUTTON IN EXTENSIONS MENU" no longer works because it's not there. How do i change the shortcut so I can select all again?

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Typically keyboard shortcuts can be configured in your operating system's preferences. What OS are you using?

Thanks

see the problem is that since a while ago, chrome://extensions has changed it's layout. The "keyboard shortcuts" button isn't there.

Hello!

Thanks for your follow up! While on the extensions page, click on the three lines in the right corner of that page. This is where the keyboard shortcut option can now be found. Let me know if that works out.

Thanks
Shannon
