Chromebook shortcuts

Now that we are using the chromebooks in the Acton PDC we're finding that we need to look up shortcuts that came as second nature on PCs (or Macs for some). Here's a great list from Google:

The best one is Ctrl+Alt+? to get the following list- remember that and you never need search again. 

I have highlighted some that I think are especially useful
