Windows 10: How to Highlight Text in Win 10 on Laptop With Keyboard

I came from Win 7 and can't figure out how to do this without using a mouse. Haven't been successful with an internet search. Any advice appreciated. TY

Key board being triggered to highlight and erase text

I have an HP Envy using Windows 10. Recently my number pad and backspace key have been malfunctioning at will. They will start a manual highlighting function.. The cursor jumps and begins highlighting the text. Any keyboard stroke or move of the mouse
continues highlighting text. Any suggestions on why this is happening?t Also pressing the backspace key begins the same highlighting function and pressing it twice deletes a a line or more of text. this can aslo happen when composing an email. Please help.

 

Text Suggestions for Hardware Keyboard not working

Hi and Welcome to TenForums aki12. This should work, let us know. "Turn On or Off Text Suggestions for Hardware Keyboard in Windows 10"

 

Using the tab key to hop between text fields highlights all buttons

Hello,
Whenever a dialog box pops up in Windows 10, if it contains text input fields and clickable buttons/radio buttons/checkboxes, pressing the tab key steps through every single item in the dialog box, which is very annoying and, to me, pointless. Do I recall that there might be a way to limit this behaviour so the tab key only highlights text input boxes, and not every single element? I can't find anything useful in Windows 10's Settings/Control Panel - am I missing something or is this not possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
