Navigating with gestures on Chromebook

  • Right Click: So to right-click all you need to do is use two fingers to tap on the trackpad at the same time. This acts like a right click and opens menus in the same way it would in Windows.
  • Open Link in new tab: To open a link in a new tab, you can use three fingers to tap on the trackpad at the same time

There are several different gestures that you can use to navigate around your Chromebook or use it in different ways.

  • Swipe up with two fingers on the trackpad and you’ll scroll up a page. Scroll down by swiping down instead.
  • Swipe two fingers to the left and you’ll go back to the previous page
  • Swipe two fingers to the right and you’ll go forwards instead
  • Swipe up with three fingers to see all your open apps and windows
  • Swipe left or right with three fingers to switch between Chrome tabs
  • Swipe left or right with four fingers to switch between virtual desktops
