Keyman system keyboard on Chrome OS

[speedwell]

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Chrome OS chromebook and am looking for a way to use the Keyman phonetic keyboard while typing into a document. There is no option to select Keyman as a system keyboard. The chromebook is capable of running android apps (which is my current Keyman version) and also Linux. Is there a way to achieve what I’m looking for?

Cheers,
-Radek

Welcome to our community @speedwell,

As of now this is a known limitation of Keyman.

FWIW, we don’t currently have the resources to build a version of Keyman for Chromebook. We are a 3 person development team (some of us part-time) and are supporting 5 different platforms already

Would you like to try some of the workarounds below and let us know which one works well for you?

   I have been using Keyman on my Chromebook for some time. Most modern Chromebooks will run Android apps so I downloaded the Keyman app for Android and run that. There is an option to replace the system keyboard with the Keyman keyboard. The Chromebook is really handy for testing a new keyboard.

Thank you!
