It’s one button that can help you find your things fast. According to Google support:Īll Chromebooks are equipped with the Everything Button. Whether you have a Launcher key or a Search key, it will soon be known as the “Everything” key.
Of course, with Chrome OS, the only thing that’s constant is constant change. Chromebooks made by Google hardware partners have that keyboard key but the description on those is to “Hold the Search key to switch the behavior of the top-row keys.” The above screenshot is from a Pixelbook and you’ll notice it says to hold the Launcher key.
You’ll find it tucked away in Settings, Device, Keyboard: there aren’t any of those on a Chromebook! No problem, there’s a setting to enable the top-row keys of any Chromebook to act as function keys, i.e. Some of the programming tools work better with function keys on a keyboard but…. That’s what I do for my CompSci classes, and my Chromebook is easily capable of getting me through a Computer Science curriculum. Although it can take some time, it’s pretty easy to set up a Chromebook as a developer machine with Linux and programming tools.
