You don't get this when you choose keyboard?

I pondered between an Apple & the Samsung Tab S - for wife. Her choice - Samsung. Why Samsung - easy, brand excellent, price, Apple - for show-ponies.

Well booey for you, I guess.
Why did you feel the need to bring that up in this thread? Did somebody insist that you go out and buy something from Apple?

7. Click inside the "Keyboard Shortcut" field and hit F5 key (or any desired combination)
8. Restart Chrome to make it work,

stuck on step 4. I cannot see a little plus and not sure which white area you mean.

sorry.

Thanks for your patience all. Got it sorted now. The missing instruction between 3 and 4 was to select Apps Shortcuts item in the list.

Then everything else works. Maybe obvious to you, but it wasnt to me until QC mentioned in it in passing.
