I’ve heard so many people complain about the ‘Everything button’ not being a caps lock key by default or that they don’t particularly enjoy the way Google has recently stripped the Alt key of its power, and yet, for years, we’ve had little capability to customize the way the Chrome OS keyboard functions. You can re-map the way several primary keyboard keys operate, like the ‘Launcher’, Ctrl, Alt, Escape, Backspace, Assistant (for those of you with a Pixelbook), and Caps Lock, but that’s about it.
Well, aside from the ‘External Meta’ key found below in the screenshot of the Chromebook Settings app. External Meta allows you to remap the Windows key on your external keyboard to something of your choosing. If you’re using an external macOS keyboard, this would be known as your CMD key.
