Both Spatila Navigation and caret browsing want to consume the key events. Seems to me that we should restrict use of one or the other, but not both.

I believe Xan would know about this. We use caret browsing in Epiphany, as an accessibility feature, for instance.

My understanding is that it does not make sense/it's impossible to have both enabled at the same time, so I agree we should probably not allow it.

(In reply to comment #1) > Gustavo, who is using caret browser on your side? Sorry that I'm a tad late to this game. But to re-iterate what others have been saying: Caret navigation is needed for accessibility, including for users who are blind who are arrowing within the content and having it presented to them via tts and/or refreshable braille. Having both enabled at the same time does seems like a problem. ;-)
