sélectionner (mettre en sur brillance) le fichier à l’aide des touches fléchées

Non-PRO French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
I'm unsure about the following phrase:

Se repositionner (mettre en sur brillance) sur le fichier sélectionné à l’aide des touches fléchées

Please can you clarify if it means 'Choose (highlight) the selected file using the arrow keys?

Thank you

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): writeaway, Anne Girardeau

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

You have it!

Your subject line and the text of your request differ a little, but that's it in a nutshell. The sentence, "Se repositionner (mettre en sur brillance) sur le fichier sélectionné à l’aide des touches fléchées," sounds a bit more like "move the cursor (highlight) over the selected file using the arrow keys"
