I want to mention another pleasant discovery. And it also works for the Penguin Terminal app. Note that this shortcut only works when you are already focused on the Secure Shell app (in any other window it will start an Incognito Chrome session), but it does work. I did not find this discussed anywhere I found it by looking at the actual Google git document for the hterm keymappings. I recently discovered that there is a keyboard shortcut to launch a new window of the Secure Shell app: Ctrl+Shift+N. I mentioned that I tend to use multiple open terminal sessions in my work, and I was frustrated that the default Chrome OS behavior when you try to launch an app that is already open is to return you to the open app, rather than opening a new session of that app. I'd like to start by returning to one of the frustrations mentioned in my last post. In this series of posts, I've been exploring the Chrome OS, with a focus on what I like, what I don't like, and how well I can use it for my sysadmin work. But sometimes you also get the secondary pleasure of uncovering a solution to something that frustrated you. And then of course there's the inevitable frustration of discovering what it can't. One of the pleasures of a new device is exploring what it can do. All statements and opinions are mine alone.This is just documenting my experiences with Chrome OS, and its appropriateness to my work as a Systems Administrator. I do not intend to spend time talking about setting up or how to use a Chromebook there are many many websites out there that do an excellent job of that. This article it not intended to be an endorsement or review of anything.
