I'd never heard of Conkeror, so I started playing with it. I really like it (but *I* am an Emacs guy). If you do "M-x use-vi-keys" (where "M-x" is probably Alt-x on your machine) then it feels more vi-like (j,k scroll up/down; h,l go back/forward; colon for commands instead of M-x). It doesn't seem to do tabs, but it will open pages in different (Emacs-like) buffers. Use "C-x f" (with emacs keys) to open a URL in a new buffer. Then "C-x b" to switch between buffers. (Not sure what the equivilent vi-style keystrokes are, but they might be there) Of course, Conkeror is still Firefox underneath, so that won't help with it being a memory hog. Anyway, thanks for showing me something new and cool! -- Luke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
