Unique Chromebook Keys

Unique keys on your Chromebook keyboard

Chromebooks bring with them some keyboard keys that we just don't see anywhere else.  Some of these keys are pretty self-explanatory and others just don't mean anything without a little explanation.  Here's a quick list of the special keys you will find on your Chromebook and what they mean.  We've also included, as an attachment, a handy image you can download and save/print if you'd like.

Your unique Chromebook keys usually appear on the top row of your keyboard from left to right.
