I would suggest removing the down-arrow jpage options from the input box 
"buffer".
Instead beneath the input box there could be a horizontal "menu" of links that 
would provide the same functionality as the jpage sentences do currently 
[jpage'opn'], [jpage'jijs'], [jpage'jpdf']. Using the mouse (left vs middle 
click) the user could then choose to open the page/link in the same or new tab 
and the links would still be accessible via the keyboard using the TAB and 
Enter keys. As a bonus it would lift the input box off the extreme bottom of 
the browser window.
