Alan, I was at first confused by your response, and as a test tried, for example, to enter Ctrl-<letter> for whatever lettered link I wanted to follow. Didn't work--when I pressed Ctrl the first time to display the letter boxes, then pressed Ctrl-H (when an "H" box was displayed), the boxes disappeared as soon as I depressed Ctrl, and with that still pressed, pressing "H" did nothing. But....if I press and release Ctrl to display the letter boxes, and then press one of the letters (upper/lower case didn't matter), the nearby text link was activated. In kmail I was able to select mailto:, http:, and https: links to open a compose window in kmail or a new web page my firefox browser. Firefox does not exhibit this behavior, but konqueror does in the same way as kmail. I couldn't find any other kxxx utilities with the same behavior, though. At least now I know how to use this feature, but unfortunately, I can find nothing in the KDE menu "System Settings" under the General or Advanced tab that appears to enable or even modify this behavior. Any other suggested places to look? -- Jim
