Keyboard-centric browsers (e.g. qutebrowser [1], dwb [2],
ect.) generally let you click on links via 'hinting'. You
press a button (e.g. 'f' for 'follow'), every clickable
element has a series of keys shown above it, and you press
those keys to follow that link (just look at some of the
screenshots for the linked browsers).
The (kinda) new anchor links in the phobos docs don't work
well with this, as they require me to mouse over the element
for them to show up (and having to use the mouse defeats the
purpose of a keyboard-centric browser).
Is there any reason for this design? Would it hurt to show the
anchor all the time? If nothing else it would make the anchors
more discoverable.
I don't understand, the anchor link doesn't go anywhere. It's
to provide a perma-link to that piece of documentation so you
can direct link to it somewhere else.
My guess: "every clickable element has a series of keys shown
above it". The permalinks are not clickable unless you hover
above, thus no "hinting", thus not useable by keyboard-centric
browsers.
Maybe have it always visible and float to the right?
