Chrome browser locked in Edit mode and cant scroll with cursor keys up/down .. [Solved]

Recommended Posts

specs: Win7, Chrome Version 109.0.5414.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)

 

I was pressing a keyboard shortcut multi-key sequence too quickly (like ctrl+t, etc.) but don't know the key combination because I was doing this in very low light conditions a moment ago and now I can't scroll a webpage up/down/home/end any more.  And for all I know this could be a key sequence not documented anywhere. 

 

I tried to resolve it by shutting down the Chrome browser but that did not help. 

 

Does anyone know what key sequence I need to restore back to normal browser behavior to?

Solved !!

 

Solution: 

I was calling it Edit mode because my cursor carrot key is blinking as if in Edit mode. 

But its refered to as 'Navigate pages with a text cursor' that needs to be turned off.

 

I guess I must have pressed F7 when all this happened.  It is now back to normal.
