Keyboard Commands
Most keyboard commands work just like the official Chrome and Chromium browsers.
- Ctrl-Alt-T opens a terminal
- Ctrl-Alt-Del opens the task list
- Ctrl-Alt-F1 switch between X and text only terminal. You can login with username chronos and password facepunch.
- Ctrl-W closes the current window, and if you do this enough times the whole browser goes away and comes back, persumably restarting the browser process.
- F12 Toggles Window Overview mode
- Ctrl-Alt-L locks the screen
- Ctrl-Alt-M enables the External Monitor
- Print Screen is supposed to take a screenshot and save it to /home/chronos/{user}/Downloads/Screenshots/screenshot-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.png, it doesn't seem to however
To shut down the OS, press the power button momentarily.1)
You can also go to the terminal and type in:
sudo shutdown -h now
That will initiate an immediate shutdown.

Yes, this is intuitive. However, there is a current bug in ChromeOS that (upon restart) will ALWAYS show ”…Did not shut down correctly” - don't worry about it, pressing the power button is as good as it gets right now.
