How to Turn Caret Browsing On or Off within Webpages
Information
Rather than just using a mouse pointer to select text and move around within a webpage, you can also use standard navigation keys Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and the arrow keys on your keyboard instead of a mouse pointer. This feature is called Caret Browsing and is named after the caret (cursor) that appears when you edit a document. Holding the SHIFT key down and pressing the arrow keys selects text.
