True, and now that I have a good size monitor I don't even mind them
being there so much. What I was really getting at though, and I guess
it's more than the browser and would also include the Xmanager, is a
keyboard (for me VI) way of doing all things. Starting with the browser
just an equivalent of 'lynx -vikeys' would be great. In an Xmanager I
wonder what it would take to hit a certain key(s) and then what ever is
on your screen would be in a VI, or editor of choice buffer. Weather
your in a browser or say Staroffice, you hit your key, now what is on
your screen is really in a VI buffer, grab desired
text, keyboard into another window .... well I know I have no business
thinking of stuff so far ahead of my level, but at least a browser where
you do *not* need the mouse or ever have to hit the arrow keys would be
great, and I do wonder what it would take be able at any time in any
application have what is on your screen suddenly be in a VI buffer.
Something like Screen but even more so. More apart of the shell or
Xmanager.
But a browser is a start. <thankyou for letting me share>
