ChromeOs Keyboard Shortcuts

Chromebooks have a slightly different keyboard to typical computers and there are a few keys that are missing and some shortcuts that I found useful:
  1. Caps Lock - <Alt-Search>
  2. Task Manager - <Shift-Escape>
  3. Log Off - <Ctrl-Shift-q>
  4. Lock Screen - <Ctrl-Shift-l>
  5. Screen Shot - <Ctrl-TopRow5>
  6. Delete Key - <Search-backspace-F5>
  7. <F1>..<F12> Key - <Search-1> .. <Search-=>

Technically not a chromeOS as much as google.doocs shortcut:
<ctrl-shift-u>2721<Enter> - generates unicode character 2721 (hex) which is ✡

The unicode characters can be seen at: http://unicode-table.com/en/ or http://http://unicode.org/charts/


To factory reset:

Press and hold REFRESH and tap power.
