Gecko supports a navigation mode caret which can be activated by pressing F7 or Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages.
The spec does mention this, but I can’t figure out what it’s saying that the browser should do with the navigation caret. Should this property not be respected for the navigation caret? Note that right now nsCaret doesn’t know which kind of caret it is drawing; currently both kinds of carets are activated in the exact same way through nsCaret::SetVisible(). How are you planning to handle this? Furthermore, this property is animatable, but the caret blinks… Are we planning to support animating this property? If yes, how would that work with the blinking, do we just use the right color for the times we are drawing the caret and let the animation continue when it is hidden? Is there something we need to do (such as clarifying how this should work in the spec) to achieve interop?
