Just click your account profile picture in the bottom-right corner and then click the gear icon. Thankfully, you can reassign the Alt and Control keys on a Chromebook. And a MacBook's Command key is directly to the left of the spacebar, just as the Alt key is on a Chromebook. One of the first things a MacBook user might do on a Chromebook is mistakenly hit the Alt key instead of the Control key because on a MacBook keyboard, you use the Command key for many keyboard shortcuts such as cut, copy and paste. Chrome OS will never be able to do all of the things that the more complex MacOS can do, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few ways to make your Chromebook feel a bit more like your MacBook.
If you picked up a Chromebook to replace or supplement a MacBook ( $430 at Amazon), then there will be a slight adjustment period as you learn the ins and outs of the streamlined Chrome OS.
