responding late... The control-X is bound to SETM1, which can be bound to some other character using the keymap feature in lynx.cfg: # # KEYMAP lines can have one or two additional fields. The extended format is # KEYMAP:<KEYSTROKE>:[<MAIN LYNX FUNCTION>]:<OTHER BINDING>[:<SELECT>] ...and # Modify following key (prefixing only works within line-editing, edit actions # of some resulting prefixed keys are built-in, see Line Editor help pages) # SETM1 # Set modifier 1 flag (default for ^X - key prefix) # SETM2 # Set modifier 2 flag (another key prefix - same effect) -- Thomas E.
