Running Desktop as a Chrome Application

A frequent issue when running desktop in a browser tab is that certain keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+W, Ctrl+F4) get captured by the browser rather than the application.

An easy fix is to set up the desktop to run as an application through Chrome (or Chromium-based browsers).

 

1. Go to More Tools and create a shortcut on your computer desktop.

2. In the shortcut creation dialog, choose the 'Open as window' option.

 

3. Launch the application by double-clicking the shortcut on your desktop.

4. Now you can use the app, and the keyboard shortcuts will work as intended.
