It would be real convenient if there were a small post link at the top of every major section, so I needn't scroll down to the post box. The link would send me to the bottom of the page without me using the page-down key or some key combo.

A nice location for the link would be to the right of the print and xml links. Another place you could have the links would be in the Sections nodelet, where you could place a little (post) link next to each appropriate section.

    Doesn't the End key do that in your browser? You may be able to change key actions if you delve into the docs.

      Doesn't the End key do that in your browser?

      Should be Ctrl-End. End goes to the end of the line (scrolling to the right, if necessary). This has been standard across all applications for even longer than Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V for clipboard operations. (Back in the DOS days, paste was Shift-Insert for example in many apps, but even then all the cursor keys (home, end, pgup, pgdn, and the arrows, any of these with Ctrl and/or Shift) did exactly the same thing in all major applications, which has not changed to this day. (I still use these regularly in OpenOffice, mozilla, ... anything with a text widget, really.) The only major app I know that doesn't observe these is Emacs, which has its own even older (and, incidentally, quite horrible) tradition for the default key bindings. (Fortunately, it's easy enough to change the bindings around, which I have done.)

    If you using IE, just press "Ctrl + End". Indeed, Zaxo is right, even "End" works.

    On Win32, most applications understand "Ctrl + End" as end of document, and "End" as end of a section (for example, th end of a line). In this particular case, they simply result the same.

    Update:

    Tried Mozilla, and it followed the general convention on win32.

    jacques, page down does not do the same thing, as you have to press it more than once for a long page. But "End" or "Ctrl+End" bring you to the end by one click.

      And for Apple Mac users (with IE) its a function (fn) & end keys combo*.

      * At least on my G4 laptop, I don't have a 'proper' keyboard to test on.

        For what it's worth, tull size Apple keyboards have a separate end key that scrolls to the bottom, without pressing a function key.
