To clarify, you're likely looking to disable your Chromebook's touchpad, not remove a physical keyboard, as Chromebooks do not have "touchpad keyboards". You can't remove a touch keyboard but instead, you can disable the touchscreen and/or touchpad as outlined below:
Disabling Your Chromebook's Touchpad and Touchscreen
Here's how to disable your touchpad and touchscreen on a Chromebook:
Disabling the Touchpad
- To disable the trackpad (touchpad), press the following key combination: Search + Shift + P.
- The touchpad will remain disabled until you press Search + Shift + P again.
Disabling the Touchscreen
- To disable the touchscreen, press the following key combination: Search + Shift + T.
- To re-enable the touchscreen, press Search + Shift + T again.
Summary Table
| Feature | Key Combination | Toggle |
|---|---|---|
| Touchpad | Search+Shift+P | Press to disable, press again to enable |
| Touchscreen | Search+Shift+T | Press to disable, press again to enable |
These steps will effectively disable the corresponding input method. Remember that these are temporary disables; to re-enable either the touchpad or touchscreen, just repeat the key combination.
