Chromebook与其他笔记本电脑有很大不同，一开始切换到一台笔记本电脑可能会令人沮丧。需要习惯的一项功能是Search或Launcher按钮，也称为Everything 按钮^{(Everything Button)}。这个按钮取代了标准的Caps Lock键，这让许多初学者感到困惑。 

本文将向您展示两种在Chromebook上打开或关闭^{(Chromebooks)}Caps Lock键的简单方法。

为什么缺少大写锁定？

Chromebook不是典型的计算机。它主要是为经常浏览网页并进行大量在线研究的人设计的。您不需要Caps Lock来输入网址、搜索友好的关键字，甚至在论坛上聊天。在网络世界中，唯一区分大小写的东西是您的用户名和密码，因此人们并不会真正使用Caps Lock，因为无需输入多个大写字母或单词。 

Caps Lock主要用于在网上对人们“大喊大叫”，这并不是谷歌在设计^(Google)Chromebook时想要优先考虑的重要功能。Shift键的作用与Caps Lock^{(Caps Lock)}键一样。

Chromebook的另一个优点是它的大小。这是一款轻巧紧凑的设备，便于携带。为此，需要一个更小的键盘。设计团队选择牺牲任何会占用额外空间的不必要或不重要的键。Caps Lock就是其中的一把钥匙。但是，即使实际密钥消失了，该功能仍然存在于后台。您只需要在Chrome OS中查找即可。   

使用键盘快捷键^{(Keyboard Shortcut)}打开或关闭大写锁定^{(Caps Lock)}

虽然Chromebook^{(Chromebooks)}没有专用的Caps Lock键，但它们具有实现此功能的默认键盘快捷键。

按住Alt + Search，Caps Lock将打开。将弹出一条消息以确认Caps Lock已打开。

要关闭Caps Lock，只需按Alt + Search。或者，您也可以按Shift按钮。

将搜索按钮^{(Search Button)}重新绑定到Caps Lock

如果您需要经常使用，使用键盘快捷键打开或关闭Caps Lock可能并不实用。^{(Caps Lock)}幸运的是，Chromebook^{(Chromebooks)}允许您重新绑定按键以执行其他功能。按照以下步骤将搜索按钮变为Caps Lock。

1. 前往您的应用抽屉并点击设置^(Settings)。 

或者，您可以使用搜索栏搜索“设置”^(Settings)应用。

2.向下滚动^(Scroll)到设备^(Device)部分。

3. 选择键盘^(Keyboard)选项以获取您可以重新配置的按键列表。

4. 选择启动器^(Launcher)或搜索^(Search)键。单击^(Click)下拉菜单并选择Caps Lock选项。Chromebook 的搜索键现在将用作Caps Lock。

按下该键将打开Caps Lock，再次按下将关闭它。 

要访问搜索或启动器功能，您要么必须重新映射不同的键，要么转到 Chromebook 的书架^(Shelf)并从那里使用它。

^{(Use Caps Lock)}小心在Chromebook上^{(Chromebook Carefully)}使用 Caps Lock

再次享受Caps Lock的自然感觉。^{(Caps Lock)}只是^(Just)不要忘记不时将其关闭，否则您可能会给人留下错误的印象。

How to Turn Caps Lock On or Off on Chromebook

Chromebooks are quite different from other laptops, and switсhіng to one can be frustratіng initially. One feature that requires gettіng used to is the Search or Launcher button, also referred to as the Everything Button. This button replaces the ѕtandard Caps Lock key, which confυses many first-timers. 

This article will show you two simple methods to turn on or off the Caps Lock key on Chromebooks.

Why Is Caps Lock Missing?

Chromebook isn’t a typical computer. It was mainly designed for people who browse the web a lot and do a lot of online research. You don’t need Caps Lock to type web addresses, search-friendly keywords, or even chat on forums. In the online world, the only case-sensitive things are your usernames and passwords so people don’t really use Caps Lock that much because there’s no need to type multiple letters or words in uppercase. 

Caps Lock is mainly used to “shout” at people online and that’s not an important feature that Google wanted to prioritize when designing the Chromebook. The Shift key does the job of capitalizing just as well as the Caps Lock key.

Another great thing about the Chromebook is its size. It’s a light, compact device that’s easy to carry around. To achieve that, a smaller keyboard was needed. The design team chose to sacrifice any unnecessary or unimportant keys that would take extra space. Caps Lock was one of those keys. However, even though the actual key is gone the functionality still exists in the background. You just need to look for it inside the Chrome OS.   

Using a Keyboard Shortcut to Turn Caps Lock On or Off

While Chromebooks don’t have a dedicated Caps Lock key, they come with a default keyboard shortcut that fulfills this function.

Hold Alt + Search and Caps Lock will turn on. A message will pop up to confirm that Caps Lock is on.

To turn off Caps Lock, simply press Alt + Search. Alternatively, you can also press the Shift button.

Chromebooks come with many other keyboard shortcuts and features that aim to improve user experience, so make sure to check out our Chromebook tips and tricks.

Rebind the Search Button to Caps Lock

Using a keyboard shortcut to turn Caps Lock on or off might not be practical if you need to use it often. Fortunately, Chromebooks allow you to rebind keys to perform other functions. Follow the steps below to turn the search button into Caps Lock.

1. Go to your app drawer and click on Settings. 

Alternatively, you can search for the Settings app using the search bar.

2. Scroll down to the Device section.

3. Select the Keyboard option to get a list of keys that you can reconfigure.

4. Select the Launcher or Search key. Click on the drop-down menu and select the Caps Lock option. Your Chromebook’s search key will now work as Caps Lock.

Pressing the key will turn Caps Lock on and pressing it again will turn it off. 

To access the search or launcher function, you’ll either have to remap a different key or go to the Chromebook’s Shelf and use it from there.

Use Caps Lock on Chromebook Carefully

Enjoy the natural feel of having Caps Lock on your side once again. Just don’t forget to turn it off every now and then or you might give the wrong impression.
