I think it is only one hotkey per command.

Not that I know of.

That should be possible via scripting.

Never thought about it but after getting the same results as you I
would love to know the answer.

Submit a patch. :)

Only via a patch. Would be a nice one to have.

No. I would love it if it did but that would take a lot of code.

That should be possible via scripting.

Patch it.

Patch it.

Extract the proper files from the tarball.
To have such requests shows you are a power user. The problem
with being one of those, as I well know, is that once you move from
one tool to another you want all the same things the old one had and
more but that, as you know, that can't always be the case. There are
a lot of things you mention that I would love to see elinks do.
Hopefully some of these will come into being in future versions.
