           Summary: Selecting ranges of text should be possible using the
                    keyboard
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Selecting ranges of text should not require use of a mouse. Currently, not only
can you not select ranges of text in a webpage with the keyboard, but once
you've selected text with the mouse, you can't even adjust the selection with
the keyboard using shift plus arrow keys. This is a serious usability obstacle
for people who have mobility disabilities or who are blind and using VoiceOver:
