I frequently find myself using my keypad to enter Unicode characters, since it's much faster to type, e.g. ALT+2B50 ALT+FE0F than to dig around charmap or the Googles to find that character to copy/paste.

Unfortunately, I can't do that character, or others like it, when typing into a text input box in Chrome, because the ALT-F keypress is intercepted by Chrome to pop open the menu. (ALT-E does the same thing.)

Is there a way to tell Chrome, either permanently or temporarily, that I really do want the ALT-F and ALT-E keypress to count as text input, and not as accesskey-commands?

Install Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts) extension and disable at least (see also Chrome keyboard shortcuts)

  • Alt+d (Chrome default: Jump to the Address Bar);
  • Alt+e and Alt+f (Chrome default: Open the Menu):
