Chromebooks are quite different from other laptops, and switching to a Chromebook can be frustrating at first. One feature that takes some getting used to is the Search or Launcher button, also known as the Everything button. This button replaces the standard Caps Lock key, which confuses many beginners.

In this article, we will show you two simple methods to enable or disable the Caps Lock key on Chromebooks.

Chromebook is not a typical computer. It is primarily designed for people who surf the web a lot and do a lot of online research. You don’t need Caps Lock to type web addresses, search-friendly keywords, or even chat on forums. In the online world, the only things that are case-sensitive are your usernames and passwords, so people don’t use Caps Lock that much because there is no need to type multiple letters or words in capital letters.

Caps Lock is primarily used to "yell" at people online, and that's not a key feature Google wanted to prioritize when designing the Chromebook. The Shift key does the job of capitalizing letters just as well as the Caps Lock key.
