Forrest Thiessen		 en This is a fantastic extension that I am constantly using! Beware, however: the settings in ChromeOS needed to enable it move around and even change completely from one version of ChromeOS to the next, so don't expect you can just follow anyone's instructions to turn it on... it takes some detective work and trial-and-error to figure out.

2021-03-14 Miles Nordin I've used it lightly with no problems, but I caught it using 1GByte of RAM in Task Manager so I disabled it.

Todd Vierling		 Works fine with CrOS 85, though honestly it would be so nice to be able to use the Search key for this purpose, as (just like Caps Lock) I don't use it for anything. For that reason I've used Caps Lock as my Compose key on all other platforms, to the left of A.
