    These shortcuts are available for users Chromebook in several ways. Initially, by means of the help menu there is a list of keyboard shortcuts. Second, when you press Ctrl-Alt-/, the color appears Chromebook keyboard layout and coded overlays your current job. Each keystroke is shown graphically in the design of the keyboard. Then, there is always printed cheat sheet or a marker for a position as the original there, so have a look on it.
