|
<pre>
|
|
a - Places the link that you are currently positioned
|
|
on into a personal <a href=
|
|
"bookmark_help.html">bookmark file</a>.
|
|
|
|
c - Allows you to send a mail message to the owner
|
|
or maintainer of the data that you are currently

|
viewing. In the case that no owner is known,
|
|
you cannot send a comment.
|
|
|
|
d - Downloads the file pointed to by the current link
|
|
and displays an option menu allowing the file to
|
|
be saved or transferred by configurable options.
|
|
Can also be used when positioned on a form SUBMIT
|
|
button to download the reply to a form submission.

|
|
|
e - Allows you to edit the current document if it is a
|
|
local file.

|
g - Allows you to enter any <a href=

|
you wish to view, and then <em>goto</em> it.
|
|
|
|
G - Allows you to edit the current document's URL and use that
|
|
as a <em>goto</em> URL.
|
|
|
|
? or H - Hypertext help to explain how to navigate in
|
|
<strong>Lynx</strong> and use its features.
|
|
|
|
i - Shows an index of files or subjects,
|
|
which may be changed in <em>lynx.cfg</em>.
|
|
|
|
j - Allows you to enter a short name to goto an URL,
|
|
if a jumps file has been defined. Press "?"
|
|
and ENTER to see the list of defined jump commands.
|
|
|
|
k - Shows a list of key mappings. Keys remapped in
|
|
"lynx.cfg" show up in this list.
|
|
|
|
l - Brings up a list of references (links) in the current
|
|
document, which can be used for rapid access to the
|
|
links in large documents.
|
|
|
|
m - Returns to the first screen and empties the
|
|
history stack.
|
|
|
|
p - Brings up a list of <a href=
|
|
"print_help.html">print commands</a>.
|
|
|
|
o - Brings up a list of settable <a href=
|
|
"option_help.html">options</a>.
|
|
|
|
q - Quits <strong>Lynx</strong>. (“Q” quits without asking)
|
|
|
|
/ - Search for a string of characters in the current document
|
|
(case insensitive or case sensitive
|
|
depending on the <a href=
|
|
"option_help.html">options</a> set).
|
|
|
|
s - Search through an external searchable indexed document.
|
|
|
|
n - Move to the next instance of a search string if you
|
|
have searched previously.
|
|
|
|
v - View a <a href=
|
|
"bookmark_help.html">Bookmark file</a>.
|
|
|
|
V - Go to the <a href=
|
|
"visited_help.html">Visited Links Page</a>
|
|
|
|
x - Force submission of form or link with no-cache.
|
|
|
|
z - Abort a network transfer in progress. If any partial
|
|
data has been transferred it will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
<backspace> - displays the <a href=
|
|

|
|
|
|
= - Show information about the file and link that you
|
|
are currently viewing.
|
|
|
|
\ - Toggles between viewing the HTML source of a
|
|
document and the rendered version of the document.
|
|
|
|
! - Spawns your default operating system shell.
|
|
|
|
' - Toggles "historical" vs minimal or valid comment parsing.
|
|
When historical, any close-angle-bracket will be treated
|
|
as a comment terminator, emulating the parsing bug in old
|
|
versions of Mosaic and Netscape, rather than validly
|
|
requiring pairs of two successive dashes to delimit
|
|
comments within the angle-brackets.
|
|
|
|
_ - Clears all authorization info for the current session. Can
|
|
be used when leaving one's terminal without ending the <strong>Lynx</strong>
|
|
session, to guard against someone else retrieving protected
|
|
documents with previously entered username/password info.
|
|
Note that any protected documents that are still in cache
|
|
can still be accessed.
|
|
|
|
` - Toggles minimal or valid comment parsing. When minimal, any
|
|
two successive dashes followed by a close-angle-bracket will
|
|
be treated as a comment terminator, emulating the parsing bug
|
|
in Netscape v2.0. If historical comment parsing is set, that
|
|
will override minimal or valid comment parsing.
|
|
|
|
* - Toggles image_links mode on and off. When on, links will
|
|
be created for all images, including inlines.
|
|
|
|
@ - Toggles raw 8-bit translations or CJK mode on and off, only
|
|
for documents which does not specify character set explicitly.
|
|
Should be on when the document's charset matches the
|
|
display character set, and otherwise off so that 8-bit
|
|
characters will be translated by <strong>Lynx</strong> with respect to the
|
|
Assumed document charset, using approximations if necessary
|
|
(see <a href="option_help.html">options</a>).
|
|
|
|
[ - Toggles pseudo_inlines mode on and off. When on, inline
|
|
images which have no ALT string specified will have an
|
|
"[INLINE]" pseudo-ALT string inserted in the <strong>Lynx</strong> display.
|
|
When off, they will be treated as having ALT="" (i.e.,
|
|
they will be ignored). If image_links mode is toggled on,
|
|
the pseudo-ALT strings will be restored, to serve as links
|
|
to the inline images' sources.
|
|
|
|
] - Sends a HEAD request for the current document or link. It
|
|
applies only to documents or links (or form submit buttons)
|
|
of http servers. A statusline message will notify you if
|
|
the context for this command was inappropriate. The HEAD
|
|
requests always are sent to the http server, i.e., <strong>Lynx</strong>
|
|
does not retrieve any previous server replies from its
|
|
cache. Note that for form submissions, http servers vary
|
|
in whether they will treat HEAD requests as valid and return
|
|
the CGI script's headers, or treat it as invalid and return
|
|
an error message.
|
|
|
|
" - Toggles valid or "soft" double-quote parsing. When soft,
|
|
a close-angle-bracket will serve as both a close-double-
|
|
quote and close-tag, emulating the parsing bug in old
|
|
versions of Mosaic and Netscape.
|
|
|
|
CTRL-R - Reloads the current document and resets the display.
|
|
|
|
CTRL-V - Switches to an alternative way of parsing HTML documents.
|
|
This may help to get a more readable rendering of some
|
|
documents with invalidly placed HTML tags, <a href=
|
|
"option_help.html#tagsoup">more details</a>.
|
|
|
|
CTRL-W - Resets or cleans up the display.
|
|
|
|
CTRL-U - Clears text from an input field or prompt.
|
|
|
|
CTRL-G - Cancels any input prompt, mail message or data transfer.
|
|
|
|
CTRL-T - Toggles trace mode on and off.
|
|
|
|
; - Views the <em>Lynx Trace Log</em> for the current session.
|
|
|
|
CTRL-K - Invokes the Cookie Jar Page.
|
|
|
|

|
|
numbers are used to invoke the

|
<a href=

|
"follow_help.html">Follow link (or goto link or page) number:</a> or
|
|
<a href=
|
|
"follow_help.html#select-option">Select option (or page) number:</a>
|
|
prompts.
