If I understand correctly, your complaint is that ELinks
automatically gives focus to the first link in the tabbing order,
and scrolls to make it visible.  Whereas e.g. Iceweasel initially
gives focus to the entire document, and moving focus to the first
link in the tabbing order requires pressing Tab once.  I suppose
that would map to the Down key (move-link-next action) in ELinks.
So, upon loading a document, ELinks should enter a state where:
- The move-link-next action would give focus to the first link in
  the tabbing order (regardless of whether it is on the screen),
  scroll to make it visible, and exit this state.
- The move-link-prev action would give focus to the last link in
  the tabbing order (regardless of whether it is on the screen),
  scroll to make it visible, and leave this state.
- The scroll-up, scroll-down, move-page-up, and move-page-down
  actions would scroll the document but never give focus to a
  link.
- The move-cursor-left, move-cursor-down, move-cursor-up, and
  move-cursor-right actions would exit this state.
- How about the search-typeahead, search, and search-back actions?

Is that what you are asking for?
How important is the change to you, given the two workarounds
of (a) setting document.browse.links.use_tabindex = 0 and (b)
pressing Home after the document has loaded?

For legal (31.3.2006/255) as well as personal reasons, I don't
want to get involved in any ELinks-related monetary donations.
