Caret Browsing or Caret navigation is a kind of keyboard navigation where a caret is used to navigate within a text document. Caret is also known as “text cursor”, “text insertion cursor”, or “text selection cursor”. It is a fundamental feature for applications that deal with text, for example text editors, word processors and desktop publishing programs. So if you are dealing this feature while surfing the web pages then that means you are surfing the web pages like a text file or a document.

This kind of navigation is supported by the Mozilla-based web browsers and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8.0.

A shortcut key (F7) is assigned to toggle between caret mode and non-caret mode. In caret mode, a blinking caret appears within the webpage. User can then navigate the webpage using up and down arrow keys.

• Then Options and then navigate to the Advanced tab.
• Now check the box in front of “Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages”
• Then Click on the Ok button.
