What is Home Shortcut for Chromebook™?

"Home Shortcut for Chromebook™" is a Chrome™ extension that provides a solution for Chromebook™ users who lack a dedicated Home key on their keyboards. This extension allows users to designate a keyboard shortcut to serve as a Home button. Customizable by pasting 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts' into the address bar, it is set by default to Alt+H. It operates best without a replacement New Tab Page installed and accesses a New Tab page as a default homepage, which can be adjusted in the settings. Please note a separate homepage can be loaded by entering the address in the extension option.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Primarily for Chromebook™ users, for their keyboards do not have a Home key.

This extension adds a keyboard shortcut for the browser Home button. By default it will be set to Alt+H unless that shortcut is being used by another extension. To change the shortcut, paste this into the address bar: chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Note 1: If you have installed a replacement New Tab Page, this extension cannot function correctly. This is due to security policies within Chrome™.

Note 2: By default in Chrome™ the Homepage is the same as the New Tab page, but this can be changed in the Settings. This extension does not have access to that setting so it will load the New Tab page even where a Homepage has been specified. If you use a separate Homepage and want that to be loaded by this extension, click the "Options" link in the Extensions page and enter the Homepage address.
