DESCRIPTION:

Run the Chrome online web store extension Yiddish Klal using OffiDocs Chromium online.

This extension installs a Standard Yiddish keyboard layout on your Chrome OS.

Also, the Caps Lock feature is disabled (since Chromebook is missing a Caps Lock button).

" Unfortunately, because Chromebook lacks native support for Yiddish, the keyboard can be found under English (United States).

Select "Yiddish Klal" as an input method and click through to accept the third party terms (contrary to the warning, all this app does is take your keystroke and print out a Yiddish character; nothing is saved, and the app is completely offline).

Finally, click "Done.

" I also recommend hiding the Yiddish Klal icon from your Chrome browser menu, since it doesn't do anything.

Right click (or click with two fingers) on the Yiddish Klal icon and then "Hide in Chrome menu.

" To switch between Yiddish and other keyboards, click Ctrl + Shift + space.
