Hi,
I use Lynx from home via 9600 modem. (Maybe I am not last one in this
situation...) Often I have to use www services that have forms with
textarea fields. You know these are a little uncomfortable with Lynx
if they have many rows. Once you step to a row you can only use up
and down to navigate and with this modem it is annoying to go through
some 20 rows. If I use "numbered links" the situation is alittle bit
better because I can step to a certain row but when I am there I have
again use onlu up and down - line by line. Isn't it possible to add
some more possibilities here? I have at least two suggestions:
1) You could use a certain escape sequence (ctrl-a or something) to
get a simple navigation menu with alternatives like: Next/Previous
Page; Next/Previous field in form; Out from the form; To the Submit
button; etc.
2) The whole Textarea could be editet in editor like comments and
mailto: links; either in line editor or the user's specified Editor
Thank you
