I haven't used links in a long time, so I'm not sure, but it sounds
like there is.

You may want to have a look at other console based browsers as
alternatives, if links does not behave as you prefer.  Have you tried
w3m or one of its enhanced brethren?

/usr/ports/www/w3m
/usr/ports/www/w3m-img
/usr/ports/www/w3m-m17n
/usr/ports/www/w3m-m17n-img

Hello.

:
F My mouse works as expected for copy and paste function on the xterm 
F console. But when I launch the links command line browser the mouse 
F pointer is OVER active. I move the mouse a hair and the pointer on the 
F links browser screen moves 2 inches. Is there some way in links to 
F control the mouse pointer sensitivity?

If you use www/links port from X11 then you may want to use the '-g' switch for
it. It makes the links to launch in a separate x11 window without (well...
mostly) problems with mouse pointer.

Of course you are welcome to try the www/links-hacked port especially if that
is your case.

Anyway www/elinks port possess far more features for ttyvX/xterm than
www/links, it's a rather nice tool, too.
