Today's session focused on introducing the basics of the Chrome browser. Thanks to Martin for leading the sharing session and going through the many useful functions of Chrome.
Topics included:
- Search using the omnibar
- Customize your searches to focus of specific sites
- What are extensions and how to use them?
- What are apps? Where do you get them? How are they different then websites?
- Setting up and customizing your toolbar to show your bookmarks
This conversation also led some people to share some useful Windows shortcuts like:
- ctrl + a = select all
- ctrl + v = paste
- ctrl + p = print
- ctrl + c = cut
- ctrl + z = undo
- alt + tab = switch between open windows
- alt + s = take a screenshot (this also allows a user to use the mouse to select a defined area
- window + down arrow = minimize window
- window + up arrow = maximize window
- window + left or right arrow = compare and contrast two windows in a snap
- window + L = lock your PC or switch users
- window + d = close all windows and go straight to desktop
- window + plus or minus = zoom in or out
