This shortcut key dictionary is something that I’m going to try and keep going as a reference point mostly for myself. If this ends up helping someone else out, even better! I’ll keep this updated as I find myself finding out or googling more shortcut keys. Feel free to hit the comments if there is useful one you know about, that’s not listed here.
Note: Just about all the keys will apply to both CloudReady and Chrome OS, as they are essentially based on the same operating systems. The ones that will be dissimilar will have to do with things like recovery and developer mode.
