Hi Krister, I'm sure I won't do your question justice here, as I am still fairly new to quicknav myself. Perhaps someone else can help fill in the gaps as needed. Actually, I didn't use quicknav very much in SL either, because I also found it a little confusing. However, I like it so much now that I have created an activity to automatically enable quicknav upon launching Safari, per instructions posted on this list. Okay, so the benefit in my particular case, is the single letter navigation. Say for instance, I am on Facebook's website, which is where I absolutely love this feature. With quicknav enabled, I can simply hit the letter "h" for "headers", and I am then directed to the first heading on the page. From this point on, I can merely use the down-arrow or the letter "h" to progress heading by heading throughout the page. The same could be done with links, tables, form controls, etc. On the FB website, navigating heading by heading makes it ridiculously easy to move from one person's status to the next. It's quite slick. Anything that makes FB's website more user-friendly is aces in my book. ;-) It works very well on the few other web pages I have tried as well. It does take a bit of playing with to get the hang of things, as does anything new, but I say it's well worth it. I am only guessing here, but perhaps the quicknav in SL allowed you to navigate through links, form controls, headers, etc. using the up and down arrows, depending on what you currently had selected in the web rotor
