On a Chromebook, run Ubunty Linux in a tab instead of full screen.


This is an Acer R11 Chromebook. Via Crouton, I have installed Ubuntu Linux Trusty with the Unity desktop. On the Chrome side, I have also installed Crouton Integration. Everything works. I start Ubuntu Linux in a terminal tab and it starts full screen. How do I get it into a tab instead? Escape doesn't do it, and neither does Esc-Alt or Esc-Ctrl. The site https://www.howtogeek.com/208368/how...ur-chromebook/ made it look like it was just a keystroke, but they never said what to do. Any ideas?

Thanks,

UPdate 2: So this is how you do it: 1. make sure you have the Crouton Integration Extension installed on the Chrome desktop. 2. Now you can flip back and forth between the Ubuntu desktop and the Chrome desktop with Ctrl+Alt+Shift and the forward and backward arrows (the ones on the upper left of the keyboard).
