What is with the Missing Keyboard keys on the Google Chrome Notebook

I am sorely missing some keys on the Cr-48 Google Chrome Notebook. I never realized that a delete key is imperative for my work flow. Slightly less important, but only slightly, are the home and end keys. I am lost without them!

There is plenty of beautiful space between the keys on the keyboard, but I think I would have preferred those staple keys: delete, home, end, and also page up and page down.

One trick I learned is to hold the ctrl key down and use the left or right arrow keys to skip whole words at a time, but not quite as good as home and end.

Oh well for now. I would love to figure out a way to customize the keys but haven't done that yet.

I explored one extension called Shortcut Manager. It does allow some customization, but does not give options to create a delete, home, or end key. I'll have to keep looking.
