I use an Acer C720P with GalliumOS installed on it as my secondary dev machine. My main rig is a Windows desktop.

I have no real complaints with Gallium or the C720P, it's a really solid little machine, and it's super fast. My only gripe is the keyboard - there's no delete key, there's a magnifying glass where the Caps Lock should go, and that gets mapped to Super, and the worst part, I only have F1-F10, missing F11 and F12.

I'm sure there's a good way to remap some keys to get F11 and F12, but I haven't figured out a good key combination that doesn't interfere with other keyboard shortcuts.

On my Acer c720, alt-backspace acts as delete. Not sure if that's ChromeOSes doing or the keyboard firmware.

I've gotten so used to it that I had to make my windows machine do the same thing!

Thanks! That worked for me. I had no idea.
