When I press "y" it takes my cursor to another place on the page

I think the cat stepped on my keyboard and hit something. When I hit "y" it moves the cursor to another place on the page. How do I fix this?

Your cat may have switched on caret browsing.

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

Thank you, I think that did it!
