There are special keys geared toward web browsing, but the biggest difference is the Caps Lock key. Rather, there isn\u2019t one. Thankfully, you can change that.<\/p>\n<p>Chromebooks have a dedicated Search key in place of where most keyboards have the Caps Lock key. Pressing it brings up a search bar that can search through the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s and files on your device as well as the web.<\/p>\n<p>Caps Lock can be enabled by default by using the key combination ALT+Search. But if you use Caps Lock on your Chromebook often, you may want to make it easier. Chrome OS allows you to remap the action of the Search key (and other keys).<\/p>\n<p>First, click the clock on the Shelf to bring up the Quick Settings panel. Then select the gear icon to open the Settings menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-04-9.18.15-AM.png\" alt=\"open Quick Settings and tap the gear\" width=\"649\" height=\"282\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the Settings app, go to the \u201cDevice\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-04-9.19.01-AM.png\" alt=\"device section\" width=\"532\" height=\"173\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now, select \u201cKeyboard\u201d from under the \u201cDevice\u201d heading.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-04-9.19.01a-AM.png\" alt=\"select keyboard\" width=\"630\" height=\"231\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Here, you\u2019ll see that you can change the behavior for several keys on your Chromebook\u2019s keyboard.

Simply press it to turn on Caps Lock, and press it again to turn it off. To use the Search functionality, you\u2019ll now have to select the Launcher button on your Chromebook\u2019s Shelf.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>The History of Caps Lock: Why Does the Caps Lock Key Exist?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
