Thanks so much, you are awesome! I do not have anything to add yet, but when I get my Google Chromebook I will let you know if I have any other questions or anything to add!

 

[earthm0m]

Cool...thanks!

I will definitely save to favs, for future use! (Hoping I win one of the freebies!)

FYI...these keyboard shortcuts are available to Chromebook users in several ways. First, using the help menu, there is a listing of the keyboard shortcuts. Second, when you press Ctrl-Alt-/, the Chromebook pops up and color coded keyboard layout that overlays your current work. Each key combination is graphically shown on the keyboard layout. Then, there's always the printed cheat sheet or a bookmark of a post like the original one here.

Wow, how cool! I need to get in the habit of using shortcuts. They could come in very handy. I use very few of them.

 

[omosh]

This is a very superb idea..when I get my own Chromebook as well (hoping I will also win a freebie), I will utilize this valuable information, besides giving my suggestions on the same.

Control + Alt + T opens a terminal window.

 

[modder]

Awesome thread, I'm excited to use these.

 

[DutchieMommy]

This is great, thanks!

Some people might find this useful... I think it's worth a mention...

If you do use the Ctrl + Alt + forward-slash keystrokes, to get a pictorial view of the keyboard short cuts, you can (by careful manipulation) acquire screen shots of the Ctrl and Ctrl/Shift application, print off pictures, so that you then have visual aids by your side, for quick reference...

I've found this most useful when teaching people about keyboard manipulation...

Any chance they will add a kybd shortcut to open the 'web clipboard'?

 

[Robbie Dalziel]

Not come across any information regarding the viewing of the main clipboard... I imagine, that when the page is closed, the clipboard is wiped clean... It's an interesting subject, so I'll investigate...
