So I think we really want a single keyssrc entry that defines the modifier keys that bind the 1, 2, 3, ... 9 keys to the "Go to tab" commands. But this would significantly complicate the current code. Is it worth it?
@crickets *chirp*
I'll take that as a "no". :-)
I notice that keys.hh defines KEYS_{FIRST,LAST}_TAB but they are not bound to anything. Maybe we could bind them to Ctrl-{Home,End}? It seems natural and they could be sensibly customised in keysrc without complicating the code.
What's humorous about all these key binding on Dillo, I rarely ever use key bindings within a GUI application. At most for Dillo, I use the mouse buttons and scroll wheel. Once my hands are off the keyboard and on a mouse, it's difficult and time consuming to switch back & forth to a keyboard. And, I mostly use command line applications, for the main reason using a keyboard is faster. (Second reason, less resource intensive.) Making it even more difficult for GUI users, there just isn't any incentive for using the keyboard while in X or GUI, unless one yanks (detaches) the mouse. Then, most users are like (duh), what do I do now -- because there's no method to see key bindings easily. Funny! Hence, key bindings are likely a good fall back method if you have key bindings memorized. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
