This makes it more convenient for people who don’t use a mouse in their laptops and using the touchpad is not the most sophisticated way to select huge chunks of text in my honest opinion. This way, users can select the contents on any web page by using just the keyboard. Probably Alice can provide more information about these ideas.In case you’re not aware of, Caret browsing is a feature that places a caret similar to the one seen on word processors right into web pages.

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)? No special DevTools support is required to debug this feature. The feature will initially be behind a runtime flag and disabled by default. The feature is not exposed to the web API layer.
