Hi All,

Maybe this will help.  There is also a YouTube link towards the bottom that 
talks about Caret Browsing.

From: Soronel Haetir

 Caret browsing is not really a win7 feature, it is a browser feature 
instead.

Really all it does, as far as I can tell, is make the browser a bit more 
keyboard friendly in the absence of a screen reader.  It does make a visible 
caret show up on the page which has been really helpful when I've been 
trying to get sighted assistance with pages because then it is much easier 
to communicate about exactly where in the page I am looking.

The keyboard interaction stuff it enables though is pretty much already 
taken care of by any screen reader product.

Hi Lisle,

Here's another explanation.

In computing, caret navigation is a kind of keyboard navigation where a
caret (also known as "text cursor", "text insertion cursor", or "text
selection
cursor") is used to navigate within a text document. It is a fundamental
feature for applications that deal with text, for example text editors, word
processors
and desktop publishing programs.

This kind of navigation is also supported by the Mozilla-based web browsers,
where it is referred as "caret browsing". 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
arrow
keys. The navigation is finer than spatial navigation and tabbing
navigation, which deals with hyperlinks only, but most times it is slower.

so basically if you have a PSP or cellphone browser... that's what it
becomes like.. where you can move up and down by using the arrow keys [they
jump
to the next link]

to turn it off press F7 again

BTW, thanks for asking this question.  I always wondered what the hell it
was as well!  LOL  LOL

Now we both have learned a little!  Take care.

I didn't have time to listen to but, a minute or so.  Hope this helps a
little.  Take care.

Global warming?  Most likely caused from hot air generated by politicians!
