GOOGLE MAKES TAKING SCREENSHOTS ON CHROME OS EASIER BY COPYING ANDROID

Google has done a lot to make Chrome OS better suited for the arrival of Android apps, from the design of the app drawer to other things like notifications. Revealed by Googler Francois Beaufort on Google+ today, Google has added a new gesture for taking screenshots on Chrome OS in the dev channel.

Just like on most Android devices, you can now take a screenshot on Chromebooks by holding down the volume down and power keys at the same time. Now, to be clear, this only works when your Chromebook is in tablet mode, meaning it only works on devices with a 2-in-1 hinge.

For now, this is limited to the dev channel of Chrome OS, but it should extend to the beta and stable channels over the coming weeks.
