I tried a bunch of things here:
Ctrl+G works.
Alt+H is captured either by my window manager or handed over to elinks
as a request for the ELinks -> Help menu.
Ctrl+H while editing a line acts as Backspace.
This is inline with the code. in src/config/kbdbind.c:
static struct default_kb default_edit_keymap[] = {
...
{ { 'H', KBD_MOD_CTRL }, ACT_EDIT_BACKSPACE },
static struct default_kb default_main_keymap[] = {
...
{ { 'H', KBD_MOD_NONE }, ACT_MAIN_GOTO_URL_HOME },
This should take you to ui.sessions.homepage (config or
getenv("WWW_HOME")). So it certainly looks like someone else is
capturing the keystroke and elinks doesn't get it. I don't know how we
can figure this out in ion.
