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.
Use the Search key or the Launcher key to search, show your apps, and interact with Google Assistant. To turn Caps Lock on or off, press Alt + Search |
