Using the Desktop as a Chrome Application

A frequent issue when accessing the desktop via a browser tab is that certain keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+W or Ctrl+F4) get captured by the browser.

The straightforward fix is to turn the desktop into a standalone app using Chrome or any Chromium-based browser.

 

1. Go to More Tools -> Create shortcut on your computer desktop.

2. When creating the shortcut, select "Open as window".

 

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

4. Start using the app and enjoy seamless keyboard shortcut support.
