OK. I had link numbering on - by default, toggled via the "." keyboard
action - so I thought that might clash with the jump to link action and
I hit "." to turn link numbering off and hit "u" again and this time it
does pretty much what you represented. When I hit "5" I got the
"keyboard prefix: 5" in the taskbar.. could type "1" and the prefix
becomes "51" .. but now I'm confused. Since I had to turn off link
numbering I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this. Not count the
links on the web page mentally, I hope?
No big deal, just typing the link number when in "link numbering on"
mode works just fine - and I'm absolutely delighted by my vi-like
navigation keyboard actions instead of these laptop-imcompatible arrow
keys - so if you don't have the time to clarify please ignore.
Thanks for your reply.. and please move graphic support to the bottom
of your list and give us UTF-8 and javascript support.. :-)
Great browser..!
