How to remap Chromebook’s keyboard
Chromebooks are pretty different from traditional laptops in a lot of ways — and not just because of their software.
If you aren’t thrilled with that arrangement, though, don’t despair. You can actually remap a fair number of your Chromebook’s keys and dramatically change how you use your device.
To get started, simply head into the Keyboard section of your Chromebook’s settings:
- Click the clock in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Tap the gear-shaped icon in the panel that appears.
- Scroll down to the Device subhead and click the “Keyboard” option.
There, you’ll see a list of keys you can customize:
- The Launcher key (sometimes also called the Search key)
- The Ctrl key
- The Alt key
- The Escape key
- The Backspace key
- The Assistant key (on Pixelbooks only)
Each key can be remapped to handle any of the following functions:
- Launcher (the Chrome OS app drawer and search prompt)
- Ctrl
- Alt
- Caps Lock
- Escape
- Backspace
- Assistant (on devices where Google Assistant is available)
