|

|
|
<p><strong>Lynx</strong> invokes a built-in <a href=
|
|
"edit_help.html">Line Editor</a> for entering strings in response
|
|
to prompts, in forms, and for email messages if an external
|
|
editor has not been defined. Additional alternative key-bindings
|
|
can be offered by configuring with
|
|
<code>--enable-alt-bindings</code> or by adding them in
|
|
LYEditmap.c before compiling <strong>Lynx</strong>. If available,
|
|
they may be selected via the “o”ptions menu, or by
|
|
editing lineedit_mode in the “.lynxrc” file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> setting emacs/vi keys ON has
|
|
no direct effect on line-editor bindings.</p>
