"Right Click" On A Chromebook

You can choose from multiple options, such as the ones you see when you "right click" on a PC, on a Chromebook.

There are two ways to accomplish this.

First, you can click your trackpad with two fingers instead of one.

Second, you can press alt and click at the same time.

Alt+Click will give you the "right click" menu which allows many quick and easy options.  You can click on links, tabs, docs, anything and you will see more options.

Of course, if you have a mouse attached to your Chromebook, you can simply right click.

Press Alt when clicking to see menu.

Chromebook Launcher Tips

You can do alot of things by clicking on the "waffle" in the lower left hand side of your Chromebook screen.  The "waffle", also known as the launcher, is a search engine in itself.

You can:

1.  Use it as a calculator.  Just type in your problem and you will get an answer.

2.  Use it to convert units.

3.  Do a voice search.  Click on the microphone and say what you are searching for.

The launcher can do many things.  Besides finding your apps, you can find a whole lot more there.

Todays Tech Tip - 3/5/15

There are many keyboard shortcuts on a Chromebook.  We all know Control+C is copy and Control+V is paste, but there are many more.
To remember them all is impossible, but here is a little trick to help out.
If you press Control+Alt+? you will see a keyboard shortcut overlay.  It shows all the shortcuts and which keys need to be pressed for each.
Don't try to remember them all, pick one you like or use often and remember that one.  You can add them periodically.
Or just remember Control+Alt+? and you can look them up each time.
