This allows you to search a web page for a particular word or phrase on a page. To enable incremental search on your browser, press and hold ALT and then tap F. This will open a search box and as you type, matches will be highlighted on the web page.

Spatial navigation

Pressing tab will jump you to each of the items you can interact with on any page. Holding the SHIFT key and then pressing tab will take you to the previous item.  

Caret navigation (for Internet Explorer and Firefox)

This enables you to select text and move around within a webpage using your keyboard (Home, End, Page Up, Page Down & the arrow keys) instead of using a mouse.

To enable caret navigation, press F7 and choose whether to enable the caret on the tab you are viewing or all your tabs.

Pressing the space bar on a web page will move the page you are viewing down to the next visible part of the page.
