Lynx provides a rich set of keystrokes to move around in the current document. You can use the numeric keypad, control key combinations, cursor movement keys or some miscellaneous special purpose keys to move around. If you have a DEC keyboard or true VT keyboard emulation, many of those keys are mapped to cursor movement as well.
Because the numeric keypad has both cursor movement functions and numeric values, Lynx maps both of those to the same function name by default. For example, the key "7" has the same function as the "Home" key. Here are the meanings of the number keys:
1 Last page of document (END key) 2 Move to next link in sequence (DOWN arrow) 3 Display next page of document (PAGE DOWN) 4 Return to previous document (LEFT arrow) 5 no default action 6 Activate this link (RIGHT arrow) 7 First page of document (HOME key) 8 Move to previous link in sequence (UP arrow) 9 Display previous page of document (PAGE UP) 0 no default actionNote that these keys work whether on the top row of the keyboard or on the numeric keypad.
The first set of movement commands will move you between links. If the next/previous link is on the same page, the page remains the same, and the next/previous link is highlighted. If the next/previous link is not on the same page, these commands act as a next/previous page instead.
Next Down Arrow or 2 Next link right or down Previous Up Arrow or 8 Prev link left or up Down link > Down to first link on the next line Up link < Up to first link on the previous ine
The remaining movement commands will change the portion of the text that is displayed.
