Shallow Dive Into The Non-Tab Tech of Chrome OS

After a user clicks on a few Chrome Notebook app icons, types search keywords in the Google home page search field or hits the Search button on the keyboard a few times, they will have a pretty good idea of the basics of using the Chrome OS.

The basic user will still want to learn what apps are best for their needs, and will want to learn more about how to move files around, how to print and how to do a few of the other routine tasks they currently do with a Win, Mac or Linux OS. There will be future posts covering each of those topics. But for today, I want to briefly look behind the curtain to see what holds Chrome OS together and how the geekier Cr-48 users can poke at non-tab parts of Chrome. You don't need to be a geek to find value in some topics in today's post, but it's likely that basic users will be uninterested in much of what is talked about below.

First, and this isn't really geek-material, let's look at some of the keyboard shortcuts. The one key that rules them all is Ctrl + Alt + / -- you'll want to remember that one. That key combination will bring up a display showing all the keyboard shortcuts on the Cr-48. xxxxxxx

Next, the 'wrench' icon in the upper right corner of the Chrome Notebook screen. xxxxx
