I've sent this message to blinux as well because that's where you posted. While the message below isn't about key bindings, it does request an important feature that is present in lynx (the cat), and missing in links (the chain). I'm forwarding it on to you as a use case and a user requirement in the expectation that's it's a fairly simple thing to implement. Regretably many web sites that ignore the W3C's markup guidance in support of accessibility also abuse the user agent data provided by the http header. It would be very helpful if links (the chain) could provide the workaround already available in lynx (the cat). I would very much like to hear your thoughts on this request.
