Calculate the total distance the hand has to travel everyday in its journey to hit that button. It will be more than a mile. :-) A small distance, but summed up over a period, becomes more than a mile. I think to be exact, it should go as: Averaged over a day, the escape key is a mile away. The point is that, I am a subconscious computer user, and I don't think while typing or doing anything. That's the reason I can't use the numbering for navigation. I am sure almost all elinks users are similarly handicapped, but since I come emacs-w3m, which I personally wrote most of the features for, I would say I am a bit more spoiled. But elinks is surprising me everyday. :-) Thanks. _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
