I happen to be a poor typist and have had to disable a lot of keystroke-combinations in my ~/.vimrc because of this. There's some combination that causes my "compose" window to disappear (likely ctrl+shift+return, from looking at related posts). At least the partial-message shows up in the Outbox folder where I can resurrect it. It took me awhile to figure this out, I had been re-entering the messages. Is there some way for me to disable this "feature", though? I have absolutely no use for it. This is with thunderbird 102.4.1 (64-bit). It doesn't look like I have an explicit "Send later" extension enabled.

I'm able to turn it off using the "tbkeys" extension. In the "Compose key bindings" pane, add this:

   {
       "ctrl+enter": "unset",
       "ctrl+shift+enter": "unset"
   }

which also disables sending a message with control-enter. This had been raised previously so I posted the answer here:

Along these same lines, there's some keystroke-combination that causes the composed message to be sent, which I don't want to do. I think it was something like <esc>, that I would use for normal operations when I'm editing command-lines in "vi" mode, but causes problems in the "compose" window. If I want to send, I'll click on the "send" button. Is there a way to disable these sequences so I can just use the buttons instead?

I'm looking at the "tbkeys" extension right now.
