Is that something that is still in the current code?
Using my classification, was that a hardcoded mapping directly to
lynxactioncode (3.)?

Just to make sure I understand, with remapping you mean lynx.cfg,
not some other mechanism, right?

Before I try to reply in more detail, a question - does the 'K'ey Map
page work right in the DOS versions, or are some of the keys with
codes in the 0x100 - 0x10E area shown wrong?  (I mean with code without
with no problem caused by MOUSE_KEY or its removal).  And are some
key combinations accidentally mapped to actions without that being
intended?  For example Control_At is 0x103 according to docs/djgpp.key,
does that invoke some action when it shouldn't?   I would expect such
things to happen, but maybe I haven't looked nearly enough to understand
the details.
