Streamline your workflow by assigning custom actions to single and double clicks. Pre-configure different models—such as the default gpt-5-2 for simple clicks and gpt-5-2-instant for double clicks—allowing you to instantly switch between your most-used configurations. You can also use “Temporary Chat” mode for either action to keep quick queries or experiments from cluttering your conversation history.
Switch between models with ease. Essentials4GPT intercepts the internal configuration of ChatGPT on load, allowing you to force a specific model simply by specifying it in the URL. This ensures your custom shortcuts always launch exactly the model you need, without manual selection.
Take full control of your conversation history. Essentials4GPT allows you to edit past conversations, correct typos, or clarify details. You can also archive or delete multiple conversations at once, making it easier than ever to manage your chat logs and keep your history organized and relevant.
Reclaim your muscle memory. Set your preferences so that “Enter” creates a new line and “Cmd+Enter” (Mac) or “Ctrl+Enter” (Windows) sends your message. This prevents accidental submissions and lets you format your prompts with ease, just like in a dedicated text editor.
Pasting from rich text editors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs can be messy, often bringing in unwanted images and formatting metadata. Our smart clipboard feature filters out everything but the text, ensuring clean pastes. Need to paste just an image? No problem—the extension intelligently allows single-image uploads while stripping them from complex “copy-all” selections to avoid duplicates.
Go hands-free with a robust customizable shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Meta+Space by default) for voice transcription. The new intelligent release detection stops recording exactly when you let go of any key in the combination. Plus, a built-in safety mechanism automatically stops recording if you switch away from the ChatGPT tab, protecting your privacy and ensuring performance.
