Hi! I have my students do this so they can use their chromebook as a light box and trace. But, for some reason, after doing the restart, they can turn off the touchscreen but their mouse has completely disappeared/their trackpad no longer works. Do you have a suggestion to fix this?

Thanks Andy Z….great tutorial and answered a dilemma question…as buying a new CB for my 7th grade son who told me he can’t have a touchscreen because they need to trace things for school, and I was like it’s almost impossible to by a new CB these days that does not have a touchscreen, plus most likely if investing for a new CB you want to have for several years of course you’d want touchscreen ability! So now I know I can simply install this fix !

Thank you! Glad to know this still works. I was trying to trace something onto a piece of paper, and it kept moving and switching tabs! Now I can trace in peace. Do you know what the rest of the Ash debugging shortcuts are? I know Search + Shift + T toggles touchscreen, and in the comments I read Search + Shift + P toggles the touchpad, but is there a way to toggle the keyboard or any other shortcuts? Again, thank you so much for writing this article!

In reply to Mike.

Hey Mike,

If the shortcut hotkeys don’t work for you, you can still turn the touchscreen on by using the Chrome Settings menu.

You can enable touch using the menus like this:

Launch Chrome
Type in “chrome://settings” in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Search for “input” or “touchscreen” and find the option to enable.
Your settings should save automatically.
Exit the settings tab!

Let me know if you’re still stuck.
Thanks.

my touch screen does not toggle on off. It is off and I want it on. Please help!!
when I hit search, shift T, my mouse disappears and reappears if I touch the touchpad or spacebar.
