Home and End are the ones I find I miss most.

When web browsing, don't forget that the space bar gives you a page down.

When doing other work on the Chromebook I find I scroll with the trackpad (two fingers up and down) most of the time, and of course I've got a full keyboard hooked up to the Chromebox.

It took me a day or two to stop hitting the power button too, but now I find I don't miss the delete key at all. I just use backspace, with alt-backspace when required.

I also find that I don't miss Caps Lock (which is available with Alt-Search if you do need it). Having the Search key there instead is very handy.
