Google is rolling out the April update to ChromeOS users, which includes features such as customizable keyboard shortcuts and mouse button actions. The update also improves offline text-to-speech voice support. The ChromeOS M123 update will be released to users over the next few days.
Let’s take a look at these new features. The main new feature is the ability to assign custom keyboard shortcuts for actions. This feature is also available on other desktop systems.
However, users need to manually enable this feature by activating a setting flag called “#enable-shortcut-customization.” The company stated that keyboard customization shortcuts will be enabled by default in the next ChromeOS update M124.
With the ChromeOS M123 update, users can assign custom keyboard shortcuts according to their usage habits.
With this update, Google also allows users to customize the actions of mouse buttons. If your mouse has more than two buttons, you can assign them tasks such as screenshot, mute, unmute, and insert emojis. Additionally, you can set dedicated combinations for actions performed by keyboard shortcuts.
ChromeOS allows you to assign actions to other buttons on your mouse.
The ChromeOS M123 update also includes some minor upgrades, such as the ability to change the preferred language for each Android app via “Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > App Language;” and improved text-to-speech functionality, which should sound more natural. It supports 31 languages and can be used offline.
