    Turn caret browsing on or off

    What is caret browsing?

    Instead of using a mouse to move around within a webpage and select text, caret browsing lets the user use standard navigation keys on your keyboard: Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and the arrow keys.

    Caret browsing is available w/ IE and Firefox. Chrome and Opera do not have this functionality

    To turn caret browsing on in IE or Firefox hit F7.

    When you are done just hit F7 toggle the settings.

    To each his/her own, sometimes I find it is nice to have a change.

    Thank you for the tip Student26.
    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.

    Thanks for the pointer Student. I did not know about that function. It may come in very handy sometime.

    Caret browsing was once my favorite topic during our hands-on class. 1 hour of caret browsing is really a tough one...
