[dev] [surf] arrows
Do the arrows are intend to be useful with surf? I experience strange behaviour. First hit takes me to the the top or bottom of the page. Then they allow me to scroll. Is it a bug or a feature? I did try to define bindings in the config file, but then it messes with desired behaviour in pages with forms. Is there a reason (not) to bind home/end buttons? s.

Or I should say a conceptual mess, a mess that, as far as I can tell, only implementing modes would fix. On the one hand, you might be tempted to bind Up/Down to replace C-j and C-k. Then the strange behaviour won't occur, of course. But *then* if you try to use Up/Down in a textarea box it won't be treated as an Up/Down but a C-j/C-k. Which is (I think) more annoying than the original annoyance. The solution is to train yourself to never hit Up/Down and rather aim your fingers at C-j/C-k. PgUp/PgDown work fine, fwiw.

Re: [dev] [surf] arrows
The solution is to turn off spatial navigation. Spatial navigation is not that bad. But, the annoying bug/feature is that the _first_ hit down brings me to the last link. Can this be avoided? Does anyone has a patch to bin toggling spatial navigation to some key? s.
