Re: LYNX-DEV New Bkmrk from History Page???

[David Combs]

Situation: you are at some www-site "index of other sites"
page, don't know how good it is, try one of the links,
yes, IS interesting, in fact you want to go forward
from THAT page too...

You've now decided that index-type-page IS ok,
and in fact you want to add it to your bookmarks --
but right now, you are stacked up one beyond it.

Too much trouble to "h" backup to the index page
so you can then hit "a" -- besides, by this time
you have FORGOTTEN which number (number mode) you
typed in to get to the CURRENT page, and you are
afraid you will never get back here again ...
  (yeah, yeah, you can go to history page and
    stack up hopefully-cached index page, but
     follow along my argument anyway...)

So what'd you'd like to do is go to history
page, move cursor down to index page link,
hit "a", and answer "L" (link) to its prompt,
and thus save the index-page-addr that way.

But "a" doesn't work from history page, so
you can't do that.  PERHAPS it COULD work,
but would disallow saving the history page
itself, and allow only the pointed-at link (pointed-at
by the cursor, that is).

Just an idea.  If anyone else LIKES this idea,
please say so -- or these ideas just go down the rathole...
