How to customize Google Chrome keyboard shortcuts?
I would like to customize keyboard shortcuts in Google Chrome.
For example, I would like to map the keys combination Ctrl+Shift+W to the command "Close Other Tabs", instead of right-clicking on a tab (default command).
Is there any setting in Chrome to set this combination to that command ?
Or is there any plugin/script that can provide this function ?

Have you tried searching the Chrome Web Store? If not, here's a link to a shortcuts manager extension - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shortkeys/…

@VenkatH Thank you for the hint ! Unfortunately, "Close Other Tabs" is not a command supported by the "Shortkeys" extension, so it does not fill my need.

Is there a way to remove keyboard shortcuts? I want to use the shortcuts built into Tumblr but it conflicts with the ones already built into chrome and none of the extensions I could find edit already existing ones...

Another option is vimium although I don't think it can actually rebindC-W.

Looks like this feature is 'on the way' but not in the main release cycle yet. Found an article that describes the feature being implemented in the development build, #22. Or at least partially to allow some features to be shortcut-ed
Ref: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2012/08/create-keyboard-shortcuts-for-chrome.html
That post mentions an experimental API for more types of actions linked to shortcuts which can be found.. here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/experimental.commands.html
Of course that's all in the development stage still.
Edit (2018): This is partially possible with the commands api which has been out for a couple years. http://developer.chrome.com/trunk/apps/commands.html
It's pretty restricted still since you cant replace the ones that are supplied by the browser and im not sure how much is exposed there for things like dev tooling.

Update: As of Feb 2017, this plugin is no longer available.
There is a Chrome plugin called Shortcut Manager which can do this.
I just used it to create shortkeys for j and k to scroll up and down. It also has 'close other windows' available to map to a short-key.

I installed the plugin, unfortunately for some reason it is impossible to set the combination I want "Ctrl+Shift+W" into the input box (when I try to, the pop-up asking me if I want to leave the page appears).

The extension in Charley Ramm's answer no longer exists, but I found a different one: Shortkeys
Add to Chrome, press options. I'm using it to bind forward/backwards keys to my Naga Hex V2, which is not supported on linux at the moment. The reviews suggest that some people have problems using it. It works fine for me, Linux Mint 18 + Dell multimedia keyboard.
Restart Chrome after changing the keybindings.

Shortkeys is nice, but it doesn't work on the new tab page, or when the address bar is in focus

Not entirely the answer for general shortcuts, but still relative and somewhat cumbersome to find, chrome://extensions/shortcuts allows you to customize behaviors from a shortcut. I'm sure you could find/make an extension to reroute / transpose all of the shortcuts you want to use to control chrome as you see fit.

This is pretty light on the "how"; it's more of a suggestion for an area to investigate in order to create a solution. Can you flesh it out? As-is, it would probably be more appropriate as a comment. From review

This is not just "light" on the how, this is completely useless and pointless. The in-built shortcuts do not even appear there, only actions of add-ons that the add-ons choose to expose as shortcut-able. And as pointed out elsewhere, the desired shortcut of ctrl+w is not accessible, even to extensions.

This is just for extensions, but it also lets you override built-in shortcuts, like Ctrl + Q.

As described in the comments of another answer, I am also wanting to disable the "Cmd+Shift+W" shortcut for close window, and incidentally the similar shortcut that appears when I disable the first, which now stands for "Close All".
- I simply went to the Mac's Keyboard preference pane, in the "Shortcuts" tab, in "App Shortcuts" section, and went to create new shortcut mappings.
- I made these for Google Chrome and chose that as the first parameter, but I guess you could fix a similar problem in any other application by selecting the one you want instead.
- I then proceeded to name the menu entry that I wanted to replace, such as those I mentioned above.
- Lastly, I assigned it a complex key combination, one that I would hopefully never accidentally press in the future.
It's not the best approach, and I am currently reading into another question and answer "How to disable keyboard shortcuts in mac os x" which may remove the shortcut completely, but it works well enough through the existing system interface without having to install any additional software as a limited Google Chrome Web Extension or system application.

While I know this isn't the exact solution you were looking for it may be helpful to some as it was to me. This Chrome extension make many advanced shortcuts possible via the use of mouse gestures: CrxMouse Chrome™ Gestures

@distilledchaos: That link only allows you to set keyboard shortcuts for apps and extensions, not for the browser in general.

Update: As of Feb 2017, this plugin is no longer available.
There is a Chrome plugin called Shortcut Manager which can do this.
I just used it to create shortkeys for j and k to scroll up and down. It also has 'close other windows' available to map to a short-key.

I installed the plugin, unfortunately for some reason it is impossible to set the combination I want "Ctrl+Shift+W" into the input box (when I try to, the pop-up asking me if I want to leave the page appears).

This doesn't seem to override the default functionality. I am trying to add a ALT+ENTER ".com" shortcut for the URL bar (for subdomains) and it still uses the default functionality of doing a search.

The extension in Charley Ramm's answer no longer exists, but I found a different one: Shortkeys
Add to Chrome, press options. I'm using it to bind forward/backwards keys to my Naga Hex V2, which is not supported on linux at the moment. The reviews suggest that some people have problems using it. It works fine for me, Linux Mint 18 + Dell multimedia keyboard.
Restart Chrome after changing the keybindings.

Not entirely the answer for general shortcuts, but still relative and somewhat cumbersome to find, chrome://extensions/shortcuts allows you to customize behaviors from a shortcut. I'm sure you could find/make an extension to reroute / transpose all of the shortcuts you want to use to control chrome as you see fit.

This is pretty light on the "how"; it's more of a suggestion for an area to investigate in order to create a solution. Can you flesh it out? As-is, it would probably be more appropriate as a comment. From review

This is not just "light" on the how, this is completely useless and pointless. The in-built shortcuts do not even appear there, only actions of add-ons that the add-ons choose to expose as shortcut-able. And as pointed out elsewhere, the desired shortcut of ctrl+w is not accessible, even to extensions.

As described in the comments of another answer, I am also wanting to disable the "Cmd+Shift+W" shortcut for close window, and incidentally the similar shortcut that appears when I disable the first, which now stands for "Close All".
- I simply went to the Mac's Keyboard preference pane, in the "Shortcuts" tab, in "App Shortcuts" section, and went to create new shortcut mappings.
- I made these for Google Chrome and chose that as the first parameter, but I guess you could fix a similar problem in any other application by selecting the one you want instead.
- I then proceeded to name the menu entry that I wanted to replace, such as those I mentioned above.
- Lastly, I assigned it a complex key combination, one that I would hopefully never accidentally press in the future.
It's not the best approach, and I am currently reading into another question and answer "How to disable keyboard shortcuts in mac os x" which may remove the shortcut completely, but it works well enough through the existing system interface without having to install any additional software as a limited Google Chrome Web Extension or system application.

Have you tried searching the Chrome Web Store? If not, here's a link to a shortcuts manager extension - chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shortkeys/…

@VenkatH Thank you for the hint ! Unfortunately, "Close Other Tabs" is not a command supported by the "Shortkeys" extension, so it does not fill my need.

Is there a way to remove keyboard shortcuts? I want to use the shortcuts built into Tumblr but it conflicts with the ones already built into chrome and none of the extensions I could find edit already existing ones...

@wil Almost 3 years later, the "Close Other Tabs" command exists now in Shortkeys.

Another option is vimium although I don't think it can actually rebind
