I suggest again: aren't we running out of keys?
suggestions:
1: Like emacs, vi/ex, etc, allow multiple-char commands -- of course,
must be prefixed with something unique. Vi uses ":" for
"do this cmd in ex-mode"; emacs uses "meta-X" (ESC-X).
No new concept involved.
2: At same time, allow <number> prefix, for <repeat>, eg
"5j" (vi-keys mode).
The reason I suggest these is that Lynx is no longer simply a
one-purpose program, it seems.
Please: those who have an idea about this, pro OR con, please
"post" them. Thanks!
