Discovered last month via a commit in the Chromium Gerrit repository, the Android-like screenshot functionality has landed today in the Chrome OS Dev channel and you can enjoy it right now on your Chromebook if you enabled the developer channel. Once you’ve enabled the Chrome OS Dev channel on your Chromebook, you’ll be able to take screenshots in Chrome OS tablet mode using the Volume Down and Power buttons, just like you do on your Android smartphone or tablet device.
