If you are not very into editing the Registry, then there are also 5 other options to prevent you messages from being sent directly after pressing send.įor details see Don’t send emails directly. Note 1: The value name ( AltS) is actually irrelevant for this particular key but it is good practice to use meaningful names. Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\ \Outlook\DisabledShortcutKeysCheckBoxes To disable the ALT+S keyboard shortcut as well, you’ll have to add the following Registry key When this key is missing, Outlook will behave as if its value was set to 2. Value data: 0 = Outlook will not send when pressing CTRL+ENTERġ = Outlook will send when pressing CTRL+ENTERĢ = Outlook will prompt you when pressing CTRL+ENTER Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\ \Outlook\Preferences When you’ve chosen for state 1 or 2 and want to change it to state 3, then you’ll have to delete the CtrlEnterSends registry value name or set its value to 2

There will be 2 apps, open Karabiner-Elements. Outlook should never send the message (select the box and press No). Apply the necessary permissions to allow the app to function.

Outlook should always send the message (select the box and press Yes).The first time you use CTRL+ENTER, you’ll be prompted by a dialog asking how Outlook should respond to the usage of CTRL+ENTER in the future. Luckily Outlook allows you to configure what happens when using CTRL+ENTER but to disable the ALT+S keyboard shortcut, you’ll have to edit the Registry. You can prevent this from happening by not addressing the mail yet although this might not be practical, especially when replying to an e-mail. I think most people can relate with you getting tangled up in pressing Enter to start a new line and hitting CTRL instead of SHIFT when trying to capitalize your new line or pressing ALT+S instead of CTRL+S to save your draft. Is there any way I can prevent this from happening?

Sometimes I hit CTRL+ENTER or ALT+S by mistake and off goes the message as it is Outlook's shorcut for the Send button.
