+ <h2><a name="overview" id="overview">Overview</a></h2>
+
+ <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. Alternative key bindings are
+ normally available (unless <strong>Lynx</strong> was configured
+ with <code>--disable-alt-bindings</code>). If available, they may
+ be selected via the &ldquo;o&rdquo;ptions menu, or by editing
+ lineedit_mode in the &ldquo;.lynxrc&rdquo; file.</p>
+
+ <p>You can always see the current set of key-bindings in
+ <strong>Lynx</strong> by opening the special URL <a href=
+ "LYNXEDITMAP:">LYNXEDITMAP:</a>. This page is provided for those
+ not using Lynx.</p>
+
+ <p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> setting emacs/vi keys ON has
+ no direct effect on line-editor bindings.</p>
+

+
+ <p>See the <em><a href="edit_help.html#special_keys">Lynx Line
+ Editor</a></em> page for an explanation of terminology and
+ key-names.</p>
+
+ <h2><a name="notes" id="notes">Notes</a></h2>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li id="note_1">"next" means the character "under" a box or
+ underline style cursor; it means "to the immediate right of" an
+ I-beam (between characters) type cursor.</li>
+
+ <li id="note_2">For entering strings in response to prompts
+ (that is, when not editing form text fields), some keys have
+ different actions: TAB tries to complete input based on
+ previous response; Up-Arrow and Down-Arrow may offer previous
+ response and next response, respectively, from recall buffer
+ for some prompts.</li>
+
+ <li id="note_3">Ctrl-w can only be used for editing functions
+ if its default KEYMAP to REFRESH is changed. This can be done
+ in the lynx.cfg file, for example with the line
+ "KEYMAP:^W:DO_NOTHING". This also applies for other keys: as
+ long as the key's action is mapped to REFRESH, either with an
+ explicit KEYMAP in lynx.cfg or by default, the key's Line
+ Editor binding is disabled.</li>
+
+ <li id="note_4">These keys invoke special behavior when pressed
+ twice in a row: Ctrl-e Ctrl-e calls the external editor for
+ changing the text in a textarea (if available). Ctrl-k Ctrl-k
+ will move to the next link, so that all lines in a textarea can
+ be conveniently cleared by repeating Ctrl-k.</li>
+
+ <li id="note_5">Key is likely unavailable for
+ <strong>Lynx</strong>, because it is interpreted by operating
+ system, comm program, or curses library, or swallowed as part
+ of escape sequence recognition. Binding is provided for the
+ benefit of those where this does not apply.</li>
+
+ <li id="note_6">where <strong>[FORM]</strong> is marked,
+ indicates that the binding is effective only in form text
+ fields. It is ignored by Line Editor elsewhere.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>When a text input field, including a textarea line, is
+ selected, the Line Editor functions get a first grab at the keys
+ entered. If a key has no function defined in the Line Editor
+ binding, it can either be ignored, or passed on for normal key
+ command handling, where modifiers like Ctrl-x or Meta currently
+ have no effect (see the <a href="LYNXKEYMAP:">Key Map Page</a>
+ accessible with the key <kbd>K</kbd> for current
+ information).</p>
+
+ <h2><a name="miscellaneous" id="miscellaneous">Additional
+ details</a></h2>
