LYNX-DEV Options screen layout

[Joe Kincaid]

Hi,

   Someone posted an excerpt from the new options screen layout that I 
deleted from my mailbox only to have an idea about it. The message hasn't 
been archived yet, so I can't include it here now. :-)

   Anyway, the idea came to me when writing the "vi/emacs" keys section of
the FAQ. Instead of having a toggle for vi-keys and one for emacs-keys,
couldn't you have it controlled the same way the char set is controlled?
I.e. Have a "key mode" option and the space bar cycles from "Standard" to
"vi keys on" to "emacs keys on" to "vi and emacs keys on". <!-- Does
anyone ever use both together? --> 

   Depending on user wants, the current keystrokes could still perform
those functions I.e., the "V" keystroke could toggle between "Standard"
--- "vi keys on" and between "emacs keys on" --- "vi and emacs keys on"
and similarly for the "M" keystroke. Or, if this wasn't a big deal, it
would "free up" a keystroke on the options screen.

   Since I haven't gone back and looked at the new options screen to 
determine how this would work and whether it would help, I admit I'm 
unsure of whether this would really save space on that screen.
