There is also a third: back-and-forth (through your node navigation path history).
awesome. yes, it mentions 'l' (history-back) but not 'r' (history-forward). fixing that and treating 'l' and 'r' together will be a big improvement. thank you.
HTML supports all three dimensons too. A well-structured reference website will allow a web browser to navigate in all three of these dimensions.
i see. with the browser supplying the third, back-and-forth relative-to your-history dimension. btw, what about the serial plough-through-it-cover-to-cover dimension? ie, info's ']' and '[' commands?
Most browsers don't provide a UI for up-and-down; Conkeror does though. http://conkeror.org
sounds interesting, and i will take a closer look when i get a chance, but in the meantime i'm not quite sure what you mean. do you mean that it provides the user with some convention specific to accessing up/down links (ie, html elements described as rel=up and rel=down)? or do you mean something else? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
