CTRL-G in lynx ============== Don't you hate hanging connections in lynx? For years, I've broken them with CTRL-C to kill the program and just started over. Then the other day, I started trying other CTRL key combinations and ***lo and behold*** (imagine a choir of angels singing in the background) CTRL-G simply broke the connection and left me exactly where I started. Perfect. Of course, my immediate thought was "How did I not know this? Is it a hidden feature?" So I pressed the "?" key for help -- and got: "Alert!: Unable to access document." So then I looked up the documentation at https://lynx.invisible-island.net/ lynx_help/keystrokes/ And there, near the bottom of the list, was the culprit: CTRL-G - Cancel input or transfer Maybe everyone else always knew. But for me, the angels are still singing!
