Chromebook help
Navigate with the keyboard:
- press ‘Tab’ to go to the next link or form element
- press ‘Shift + Tab’ to go back to the previous link or form element
- press arrow keys to move between radio buttons
- press ‘Space’ to select radio button or checkbox
- press ‘Enter’ to follow a link or submit a form
- press ‘Esc’ to close things
If you’re stuck, use the touchscreen.
‘Ctrl + Alt + /’ shows keyboard shortcuts (only on a Chromebook).
Start voice control:
- it might already be running, say a command (see below) to find out, there should be a round microphone icon in the bottom left corner
- if it’s running but ‘asleep’, say “wake up”
- if it’s not running, click on the ‘Handsfree for Web’ icon
next to the address bar - if it’s unresponsive, restart the extension
Use voice control commands (only in the browser):
- say “click” and then follow the on-screen instructions, often saying a number
- say “scroll down” and “scroll up” to scroll the page
- say “help” to show a list of useful commands
