Entering a keyboard or keypad number is +treated as an <em>F_LINK_NUM</em> command, and should invoke the +<em>Follow link (or goto link or page) number:</em> statusline prompt for +a potentially multiple digit number corresponding to an indicated link +number. If RETURN is pressed to terminate the number entry (e.g., +<em>123</em>), Lynx will retrieve the document for that link as if you +had paged or used other navigation commands to make it the current link +and then ACTIVATE-ed it. The prompt can be invoked via <em>0</em>, +but it will not be treated as the lead digit for the number entry, +whereas <em>1</em> through <em>9</em> both invoke the prompt and are +treated as the first digit. + +<p>If the number entered at the prompt has a '<em>g</em>' suffix (e.g., +<em>123g</em>), then Lynx will make the link corresponding to that number +the current link, paging as appropriate if the link does not appear in +the currently displayed page. Alternatively, if the number is given a +'<em>p</em>' suffix (e.g., <em>123p</em>), Lynx will make the page +corresponding to that number the currently displayed page, and the first +link on that page, if any, the current link. The '<em>g</em>' and +'<em>p</em>' suffixes thus convert the +<em>Follow link (or goto link or page) number:</em> +feature to an advanced navigation aid. + +<p>If the user has set <em>Keypad mode</em> to <em>Numbers as arrows</em>, +then only '<em>0</em>', rather than every number, will be treated as an +<em>F_LINK_NUM</em> command for invoking the <em>Follow link (or goto link or page) +number:</em> prompt. The '<em>0</em>' will not be treated as the first +digit for the number, or number plus suffix, entry. + +<p>Note that HTML can be structured so that it includes <em>hidden +links</em>, i.e., without a visible link name intended for ACTIVATE-ing +the link. Such links may be created, for example, by making an IMG element +the sole content of an Anchor element, and including an ALT="" attribute +name/value pair to suppress access to the link when the browser does not +have support for image handling available. They also can be created by +having truly empty Anchor content, in cases for which the value of an +Anchor's HREF attribute is intended as a navigation aid for robots +(typically indexers) and not as content for a browser's rendition of the +document. With the <em>-ismap</em> command line switch, Lynx will +additionally treat a link to a server-side image maps as hidden if +there also is a client-side map for the same image. +Finally, in some cases links which are not intended to be hidden +may effectively become <em>hidden links</em> because of bad HTML. +The <em>hidden links</em> differ from Anchors which have only a +NAME or ID attribute name/value pair (intended as positioning targets from +other links which do have HREF attributes and values that include a +fragment). + +<p>Lynx respects instructions for <em>hidden links</em> and normally does +not include them in the rendition of the document. However, if the command +line switch <em>-hiddenlinks=merge</em> is used, such links will still be +numbered in sequence with other links which are not hidden, and if <em>Links +are numbered</em> mode is also on, link numbers will appear for them in the +displayed text (except for links to image maps which are hidden because of +<em>-ismap</em>). If <em>-hiddenlinks=listonly</em> or +<em>-hiddenlinks=ignore</em> is in effect, <em>hidden links</em> will not be +shown in the text even in <em>links are numbered</em> mode. Not using a +<em>-hiddenlinks</em> flag at all is equivalent to +<em>-hiddenlinks=listonly</em>. + +<p>If a document includes +<em>hidden links</em>, they will be reported, with appropriate labeling, +in the menu created for the LIST ('<em>l</em>') command, +unless <em>-hiddenlinks=ignore</em> is used. They can then be +ACTIVATE-ed via that menu. Also, if a link was hidden due to an ALT +attribute in an IMG element, it will be converted to a <em>visible link</em> +whenever the IMAGE_TOGGLE ('<em>*</em>') command is used to create links +for SRC attritute values of IMG elements, because this indicates that the +user does have some form of image handling enabled via a helper application, +or wishes to download files for subsequent use with a graphic browsers or +other suitable software. +</BODY> +</HTML> diff --git a/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html b/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html index 8e04b767..6c10aa58 100644 --- a/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html +++ b/lynx_help/keystroke_commands/keystroke_help.html @@ -84,8 +84,13 @@ CTRL-U - Erase input line CTRL-G - Cancel input or transfer CTRL-T - Toggle trace mode on and off + ; - View the Lynx Trace Log for the current + session.
