What is the shortcut to open settings in Chrome?

I know that settings can be accessed via the url chrome://chrome/settings/.But keyboard shortcut will be useful.

• You can also create a bookmark or a URL shortcut tochrome://chrome/settings/to access it quickly. Nov 22, 2012 at 21:46

• this does not work for me is this because another program is overriding this shortcut perhaps? or has something changed since 2012? Apr 10, 2020 at 8:46

There are actually three methods:

• Alt+Ethen pressS
• F10thenEnterand then pressS

You can't do it within Chrome as they have not provide any shortcut for this in my knowledge (anyone can correct me if I'm wrong). You have to download the AutoHotKey and then install it on your system, now copy the following script and paste it on notepad and save it with extension .ahk where you can access it easily, now when you launch the Chrome just launch it with that.

SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx #IfWinActive, - Google Chrome$ ^M:: ControlFocus, Chrome_OmniboxView1 Send chrome://chrome/settings/{Enter} return

Now when you will press Ctrl+M then it will open the setting page for your Chrome. You can bind other key instead of M, you have to just repalce it with your desired one. Also If you want to use it with Alt key then replace the key

^with!.

Edit: Also take a look at the Shortcut Manger plugin for Chrome.

You can use Ferro to open the settings page and other pages, including "chrome://extensions", using only your keyboard. Alt-Shift-F, start typing the name of the chrome page you want (eg "settings"), and hit enter once what you want is the top suggestion.
