How to Turn on Caps Lock on a Chromebook

One commonly used key that is missing is Caps Lock on a Chromebook from a standard keyboard, but you can still easily turn that on and off. Here's how. 

1. Hit Alt + search (the magnifying glass or Assistant icon), the latter of which is in the place you'd look for a Caps Lock key. You'll see an arrow appear on the bottom right notifications bar and a pop-up will alert you that Caps Lock is on. 

2. Tap Shift to turn off Caps Lock. 

3. Alternatively, you can also tap Alt + Search to turn Caps Lock off, or tap on the time icon in the bottom right corner, and click Caps Lock is on.

Pro Tip: To change any keyboard combination, including how to turn on Caps Lock, tap the notifications bar on the bottom right. Then tap Settings > Keyboard Settings to change the behavior of any of the special keys.
