Hello,
What are you missing?
Do you really think lynx' default keymap is good?
In a context like this:
| ____________________ Search
|
| [ info documents | man pages | other documents ]
(four links, cursor is on [man pages]), mapping "cursor right" to
execute/select instead of "move right to [other documents]" is as
nonintuitive as it can get, especially as "cursor right" and "cursor
left" are used as regular movement keys in the input field.
Yes I know I can change the keymap myself, but if I had to come up
with an intuitive (but slow) navigation for a webbrowser I would come
up with something very similar to w3m's keymap: A cursor you move
around with the cursor keys and when you position it on a link you can
select it with <Enter> (and <Space>). Back is difficult to find a
natural key for, perhaps <Backspace>.
