• k for keybindings

1. set an editor. e.g. vim

   So that you can edit local files. And send messages.

2. set numbered links: Keypad mode -> Links are numbered.

   Now you can just type a number and hit Enter to follow that link.

Apply your changes.

You can use lynx as a file browser.

Navigate to a directory and lynx .

• You can f for file options. (t or . to tag files, and then f for bulk options

• c to create a file or directory.

• view a file and then e to edit it (after you've specified an editor)

• \ to view source

Some HTML documents you can "comment" on with c, but that doesn't always work. You can also g and type mailto:<address> to mail an individual.
