How can I open the overview of open windows and desks on a device that has Chrome OS Flex installed? It originally came with Microsoft Windows so it does not have the "Show windows" key. Is there a key combination that achieves the same? The shortcuts list in the "View keyboard shortcuts" settings page did not help.

Found a solution. You can press F5 if there is no "Shows windows" key. In my case I had to press fn + F5 to activate it.

Thanks for sharing the solution!

Weird how it isn't mentioned in the support pages (or at least not that I have seen). I just randomly happened to stumble upon the solution when it was mentioned in a YouTube video (this one, for reference: youtu.be/GrQkvfov-kQ) about what's new in ChromeOS 107.
