You bet I'm interested...Any step in the right direction.
What I was envisioning is having like ^N as a toggle that would
put a number in a little box, black on white, before each link,
or turn them off. If it was on, then any number entered would
be interpreted as a command to go that URL.
Seems like the code could be pretty easy, just numbering every
link on the page rather than worrying about limiting this to
the screenful that's up. Simple incrementation, right?
(I'm fairly handy with sh-compatible shell scripting.)
