Work Smarter Not Harder with Chromebook Shortcuts

Chromebook Keyboard Shortcuts

We are always looking for ways to save time!  Let’s teach our students how to access keyboard shortcuts on the Chromebook. This not only increases digital literacy for students but also improves workflows.

Control Alt Question Mark

Holding down the Control key and Alt Key and then pressing the Question Mark key opens up a keyboard shortcut map. Hold down the Control key to view the keyboard shortcuts associated with the Control key. Hold down the Alt key to view the keyboard shortcuts associated with the Alt key. Hold down both Control and Alt to see the shortcuts that are associated with these two keys together.

Shift

You may not think of it, but there are a lot of helpful keyboard shortcuts with using the shift key as a modifier. Hold down the Control key and the Shift key to see what you can do.

Speedy Copy and Paste

This shortcut changed my life!  Use Control C to copy and Control V to paste.

Control and Windows Switcher Key.

(The windows switcher key is above the 6 key and looks like a rectangle with 2 lines.)

I hope these shortcuts help you and your students save a little time!
