It's not quite so bad if you have a background music player that can be remotely controlled, such as "cmus" or "mpd". Lynx can be configured to launch the URL/.m3u/whatever file remotely, and then return to lynx unblocked. The music can be controlled via interaction with the music program however you prefer. I use cmus and have fluxbox configured to send the appropriate commands on certain key-presses, as well as having some simple shell shortcuts that do the same thing. > Yes and no.

I like dillo better now that I've tweaked it to enforce my color-scheme, overriding its attempts at CSS processing. But it's long had a soft spot in my heart as a HTML documentation-viewer. So much faster and lighter than Firefox/Chromium, but with images inline. I know some of the (e)links(+,2) browsers support a graphical mode, but dillo got me first, so it's my go-to, even after the transitional hiccups from the first generation to the FLTK iteration. -tim _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
