I spend most of my day typing on my ASUS Chromebook Flip C214, working on articles for Android Central. To break up my routine, I like taking short mental breaks and having some fun. One of my favorite tricks is making the entire Chromebook screen do a barrel roll.
You’ve probably seen this from a Google search, but did you know you can do it with your whole screen? Here’s how to impress (or confuse) those around you!
What Is the Key Combination for a Chromebook Barrel Roll?
From any screen on your Chromebook, press this key combo:
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Rotate (The rotate key is the curved arrow on the top row above the number 4).
Your screen will spin, and you can enjoy the reactions from friends and family. You can do this as many times as you’d like.
How Can You Do a Barrel Roll from a Google Search?
- Head over to Google Search and type “do a barrel roll.”
- Watch as the content in that specific tab spins.
- Try this out whenever you’re looking for a fun distraction.
See? Not everything has to be about serious work. Sometimes, it’s fun to indulge in a quick trick like this or the classic dinosaur game when you need a little break!
What’s the Best Chromebook for These Fun Tricks?
For a sturdy and reliable Chromebook that can handle everything (including this fun screen trick), I recommend the ASUS Chromebook Flip C214, which is designed to be durable and kid-proof.
