Android Police: Tip #10 - Take Advantage of Virtual Desks


  Android Police:  18 ChromeOS Tips and Tricks for Your New Chromebook


10Take advantage of virtual desks


Chromebooks include a great productivity feature called virtual desks, which allows you to have different desktops for different tasks you are trying to accomplish. For example, you can create a desk for each task if you are working on something but want to play a game. This minimizes the number of windows you have to maneuver around with.

To access your desks, swipe up on your touchpad with three fingers. You'll see your desks at the top of your screen and can add a new desk by tapping the New desk button. If you want to save your currently open applications as a desk for access later, tap the Save desk for later button in the upper-left corner.

  Beebom.com:  Tip #6 6. Navigate Chrome OS Through Gestures Unlike Windows and macOS, you don’t have a range of gestures on Chrome OS. However, you can  access the overview window with a simple 3-finger swipe up/down gesture . Also, if you are in the Chrome browser, you can use the 3-finger slide in the left and right direction to move between the tabs effortlessly. This is one of the best gestures I have found on Chrome OS and I use it regularly while multitasking. Apart from that, you can close a tab by simply tapping 3 fingers at once on a Chrome tab.

Android Central: Chrome OS Tip #3 - Use Chrome Overview

Image
25 Best Chromebook Tips and Tricks 2021 3. USE CHROME OVERVIEW There is a built-in overview mode on your Chromebook that lets you see every open window at a glance. If you've ever used a Mac, this is just like Expose. It's also just as useful! On the top row of the keyboard, just press the  [ ] ||  button (above the 6 key) or swipe down from the top with three fingers on your trackpad or touchscreen to go into the overview. Clicking any of the thumbnails will open that window, and clicking in a blank space will return you to the last window you were viewing. If you find yourself with a lot of windowed apps running all the time, this is a great time-saver. As a bonus, while in overview mode, you can type to filter what you're seeing. For example, typing "Google" will only show windows with the word Google in the title. Note:  The above comes directly from their website.  Click here to read more.
