Hi Steve, Sorry for the long delay, I will try to comment on your two latest questions.

The meaning of tabs when it comes to ELinks, is to make it possible to browse several sites in parallel without opening several ELinks instances, so your question is perfectly reasonable. Sidenote: ELinks does support opening new windows (more about that in the reply to your second mail). > I want to do this in a text > console and have each tab take up the whole screen because I use a > "screen reader" patch to the linux kernel which gives me spoken output > of the screen and I cannot confine the screen reading activity to the > area inside the tab.

It is possible to configure ELinks so that it doesn't show the status bar, the title bar and the tab bar. All options are grouped under "User Interface". There you will find "Display status bar" (with the full option name: "ui.show_status_bar") and "Display title bar" (with the full option name: "ui.show_title_bar"). The tab bar option is placed further under the "Windows tabs" options and is called "Display tab bar" (with the full option name: "ui.tabs.show_bar"). Note that this will always turn them off. I don't know if that is what you want. > At present, the screen reading function will simply > speak the entire screen a line at a time, covering multiple tabs. You > could well emigine the noise of several tabs being spoken at once:). I don't quite understand this: Do you mean that it sounds strange when the tab bar is rendered? (It should be the only thing on the screen that contains content from multiple tabs).

If you run ELinks under screen, opening a new window will open a new screen window and switch to that window. ELinks uses the environment variable "STY" to figure out if it is runing in screen. > The key binding manager is > great but I can't get it to open a new window just yet. Ok, here is a little introduction to get you started. :) There are two keybindings for opening new windows: open-new-window and open-link-in-new-window. By default they are not bound to any key. If you have trouble finding the keybindings open the keybinding manager and open the folder named "Main mapping", then you can search for them so that only these two options are listed: press '/' to search and search for "window" and you should be able to find them (search for the empty string to show all keybindings again). It is also possible to open new windows using the menus: 1) To open a new window, open the File menu and it should be the first entry (the shortcut is pressing Alt-F and then n) 2) To open the current link in a new window, open the link menu (by default it is available by pressing Shift-l) and it is there if you move down the entries (the shortcut is Shift-l and then w). I hope that will get you started. -- Jonas Fonseca _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
