Hello, can someone tell me what keys you use to select text on a Mac that isn't in a text field? E.g. text on a webpage? Thanks.

The keys for selecting

By Chelsea

The keys for selecting something on the web are the same as those for selecting text; shift plus whatever increment you want to move by. Be aware however, that although textselection on the web is supported, it doesn't always work. At least for me.

Thanks
