Re: Better keyboard-driven navigation, any?

Just use Opera. It has always been fully navigable by keyboard. Shortcuts are fully configurable. If you want, you can use single key shortcuts. There are shortcuts for moving between headings and links, for focussing forms and the page proper, find-as-you-type for links and full page text, and spatial navigation. If you get tired and your mobility required for the keyboard degrades, use the built-in voice interface.

Switch now. This requires no messing with Perlmonks or Javascript. Your gain is immediate, you need not wait for someone to implement improvements. You make all of the Web more usable for yourself, not only this site.

I personally believe that your keen plea in favour of Opera nearly resembles an ad: that's not a problem for me, and I'm sure it has its advantages. OTOH I'm not the kind of guy that takes a browser as a religion (I make fun of those who make up conflicting camps in a IE-FF flame) but one's best tool is the one she's already used to. And FF is mine. I'm at ease with it for quite about everything but possibly these recent difficulties with keyboard navigation. Not to mention that I had tried Opera some years ago, and I wasn't that enthusiast about it: I may retry it now, for fun. But I'm not leaving FF and the useful plugins (and some subtle customization) that make my experience of it even better... `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.

I have a feeling the reason Opera has better keyboard support is due to its popularity on cell phones. Of course, as you point out that doesn't make up for the practically guaranteed lock-in of FF extensions! :-)	[reply]
