Caret navigation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 (the most famous examples: Emacs and Vim), word processors and desktop publishing programs.
This kind of navigation is also supported by for example the Mozilla-based web browsers (Firefox 3, and some other browsers, where it is referred as "caret browsing".
