Definition of: caret browsing
caret browsing
A feature in Web browsers that allows the user to move around a Web page and
highlight selections with the keyboard rather than a mouse. Users
unaccustomed
to a laptop touchpad often find caret browsing easier to use for selecting
text. The caret is the name of the vertical "|" text cursor. See
caret.

Hi, Brian. You won't find the word Caret anywhere in the JAWS materials,
because JAWS has no setting for caret browsing. This is only a setting found
within the advanced settings of Internet Explorer. It won't help anyone with
JAWS, unless they are using Internet Explorer as their current application.

Um, probably, but what does it do?
I've always been unclear on this account, too.
I just finished searching the JAWS 15, 16, & 17 Keystroke documents as well
as the more comprehensive one someone gave the link to in another thread.
None have the word "caret" anywhere to be found.
The only place I've found anything on caret browsing in the JAWS materials I
have that are electronically searchable, and that's lots from FS download,
is in one of the files Mike B provided. There's even mention of it in the
FS documentation for MAGic.
