OK. I had link numbering on - by default, toggled via the "." keyboard action - so I thought that might clash with the jump to link action and I hit "." to turn link numbering off and hit "u" again and this time it does pretty much what you represented. When I hit "5" I got the "keyboard prefix: 5" in the taskbar.. could type "1" and the prefix becomes "51" .. but now I'm confused. Since I had to turn off link numbering I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this. Not count the links on the web page mentally, I hope? No big deal, just typing the link number when in "link numbering on" mode works just fine - and I'm absolutely delighted by my vi-like navigation keyboard actions instead of these laptop-imcompatible arrow keys - so if you don't have the time to clarify please ignore. Thanks for your reply.. and please move graphic support to the bottom of your list and give us UTF-8 and javascript support.. :-) Great browser..! cga _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
