Split Your Screen On a Chromebook

Use the ALT + [ or ], to dock windows to the side of the screen so you can have two visible at one time.

This is useful for when you are writing a document and you want to quote something from an article. I also find it helpful when making online assessment items based on assessments that were made in docs or word.

Give it a try and let me know what other situations you find it useful for.

Thank you,
Steven

ALT D to Relieve Frustration

Small things are Sometimes the Big Things

This might seem like a minor thing, however if you have ever tried to select the text in the address bar with the mouse and it just does not quite select it all, then this is the keyboard combo for you.

The ALT key pressed at the same time as the D key will focus you right in the search/address bar. It also selects all text so you can immediately start typing your next search keywords with out touching the mouse at all.

If you are still reading this keyboard combination saves you:

1 left click, 1 left button hold and drag, and 1 delete key 

or 

1 left click, 1 left button hold and drag, 1 right click, 1 left mouse drag select and 1 left click.
