[Music] hey you and welcome I'm Mr Berry in this whole video I'm going to show you the shortcuts
and getting to those shortcuts on Chromebooks now more and more people are using Chromebooks
to do all kinds of things from school work to jobs to just using it as your home computer day
in and day out as I do now one of the quirkiness things of using a Chromebook is that you'll notice
right away that the keyboard is different as seen here you have different Keys you don't have the F1
through F12 key that you're used to using and so the function keys are a little bit different but
never worry there because you can actually have all of the same shortcuts that you're normally
used to using on your Windows machine right there on your Chromebook without having to use an
external keyboard now if you want forego using any of the new short keyboard shortcuts that are found
on your Chromebook you can still plug in a USB keyboard and when you do it works just like in a
Windows machine as far as shortcuts are concerned so if you have some type of special shortcut for
using Microsoft Excel or doing other things within a very specific program it is possible to plug in
an external keyboard and use it right away just as you were using it in a Windows environment
all right so let me show you uh how to get to the shortcuts on my Chromebook and some of my
favorite shortcuts there so let's get into it hey here we are in my Chromebook now at any time you
can always press the short keyboard shortcut it control alt and question mark and boom you see
this up here now this window here is the keyboard shortcut list window as you can see you can do a
search at the top and then it also has a commonly used or categories right there for us so the very
first one is popular shortcuts so the popular shortcuts the one that many people use that
very top one there Ctrl C that's a universal shortcut to copy and then of course you have
control V to paste but if you look down the list that gives you the most popular shortcuts there
and you probably notice that many of these are the same on a Windows or on a Chromebook
it really doesn't matter which one you're on a few though are different okay for example if we go in
and let's just say I want to search for something I'm going to look for caps here
and here's turn caps lock on now on a keyboard of a Chromebook you don't have a specific one key to
hit and then suddenly your caps are locked on no you don't have that at all on a Chromebook
you have to go alt and then the search button the search button is the one button or key that has a
little magnifying glass on it so it's alt plus the search key and that will get you uh caps
locked on and the same keyboard combination will take it off so that's easy to do to do there all
right let's go back to the popular ones there another one that people probably want to use is
print screen it's Control Plus the windows so next other types of keyboard shortcuts you can
see a long list there next we have tabs in window shortcuts another category is Page and web browser
so you want to use your web browser a lot in Chromebooks right and here are keyboard shortcuts
which are specific to working with the internet and there are many of them as you might expect on
a machine that is basically Finds Its home on the internet next we have system and display settings
so bring up the task manager now you go task manager you mean there's a task manager inside
of a Chromebook yes there is and it's search plus escape and that will bring up this let me
do it right now uh search plus Escape there it is and in your task manager you actually see a
list of applications or tasks that are running they could be running in the background for us
it shows you uh the percentage of CPU usage how much memory they're using and everything
else there and it's just like a Windows computer where you can click on one of these and then click
on in process if you needed to we're not going to end any processes today but if you were having an
issue you can always do that all right so that's all of our system and display settings there
there are many of them a lot of people even like myself who uses the Chromebook every day
for everything you don't find ourselves going in and needing to go in and using most of these but
it's nice to know that hey it can save you a lot of time if you need to get into that
next is text editing of course that's like the copy cut paste those types of things those are
being used in your Google Docs and also in Microsoft Word Microsoft Excel stuff like
that in your word processing a lot of people ask hey do you use Microsoft Word or do you
use Google Docs now I I prefer Google Docs now because it actually has more features in it
so next we have accessibilities and there are many of them here a long list of them there
and so there are literally hundreds and hundreds of different keyboard shortcuts that are all
listed here now this is not um a video to go into a list of all of those it's just a short
video to show you hey this is where they're at this is how you find them again that's control
alt and the question mark those three keys there press those it brings this up we can find yours
