Swap Alt and Control keys

One of the first things a MacBook user might do on a Chromebook is mistakenly hit the Alt key instead of the Control key because on a MacBook keyboard, you use the Command key for many keyboard shortcuts such as cut, copy and paste. And a MacBook's Command key is directly to the left of the spacebar, just as the Alt key is on a Chromebook. Thankfully, you can reassign the Alt and Control keys on a Chromebook. Just click your account profile picture in the bottom-right corner and then click the gear icon. From the Settings window, scroll down to the Device section and click Keyboard and then assign the Ctrl key as Alt and the Alt key as Ctrl.

Enable Power Button as 2FA

Pixelbook's power button has a built-in 2fa/2sv key (think YubiKey), but it's disabled by default. If you use Two-Factor authentication on GitHub, Gmail etc, you can turn it on by entering this command on the Crosh shell (Ctrl+Alt+T):

u2f_flags u2f,user_keys

sudo apt install build-essential libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 bzip2 libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev openssl libgdbm-dev liblzma-dev libreadline-dev libncursesw5-dev libffi-dev uuid-dev
