LYNX-DEV suggestion about currently selected link

[Laura Eaves]

I have keypad_mode=LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED
in my .lynxrc file as I prefer typing numbers
instead of moving the current link with the arrow keys.
I also like being able to access links that are not on the current screeen.

Questions:

1) When I follow a link (say [26]) that isn't the current or highlighted
link and then use left arrow to return to the original page,
lynx does not move the current link to [26]
but leaves it where it was.
Is there a reason for this?
Would it be hard to modify lynx to move
the current link to the one I selected?
Does anyone else think this is a good idea?

2) I'm new to the web and am discovering lots of
pages with different kinds of forms.
When a page has a form on it (say to do a search)
lynx doesn't number the entries on the form
as links.  I have to use the arrow keys in order to access them.
Is there a reason for this?
