In our daily life, we are always in a hurry and trying to complete our work as soon as possible. This will give basic idea to the community who like surfing a lot.

Caret browsing is a kind of keyboard navigation which user uses to navigate within web page or text document. It allows you to use keyboard to select text and move around within a web page rather than using the mouse.

If you use Ctrl+ arrow key it jumps to the next word on the page. Control+ Shift+ arrow selects word in text and then you can copy, paste it.

This kind of navigation is supported by the browsers like Mozilla Firefox and IE (all versions).
