what is caret browsing

Caret browsing, also known as caret navigation, is a feature in web browsers that allows users to navigate a web page and select text using the keyboard instead of the mouse. It involves the use of a caret, which is the vertical "|" text cursor, to move around the page and highlight selections. This feature is particularly useful for individuals who may have difficulty using a mouse or trackpad, as it provides an alternative way to navigate applications and the web using only the keyboard. Caret browsing is supported by major web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer, and can typically be accessed using the function key F7.
