CTRL+X followed by "g" does nothing at all on my system :-(.
bummer. You might try alt+g (or meta+g if they're different keys for you). Or, you might be running with an older version of Lynx? I've also had success with simply hitting <enter> at the end of the document. I run lynx with some funky settings, so I don't know if they're impacting matters. In particular, I have it set so that I have to press <enter> to edit a text area/box, so using "j" (with vi-keys turned on) doesn't start dumping text in a text box.
particularly, I have the following lines in my .lynxrc
keypad_mode=LINKS_AND_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION:TRUE user_mode=ADVANCED vi_keys=on
so I don't know if they change matters. There may also be something related to which key-bindings you have set. Might want to check your options--particulary the "Line edit style" which may be set to "default", "alternate", or "bash". This may also bung with the behaviors.
vim rules *g*.
Feel free to swing by the vim users list if you ever have trouble or questions...there are a lot of us loonies on the list and you learn incredible stuff. I've been using vi/vim for easily 5+ years and continue to learn new stuff on a regular basis on the list.
allthoug CTRL+X followd by "e" opens vi with the text in the textarea it would be nice, if I could do this with only a single keycombination, for example CTRL+e. Is this possible too?
Well, I have had success in some places using control+meta+e (usually the same thing as control+alt+e). Another option might be alt+e or meta+e which may do the same thing as the control+x prefix. Try both and see what happens. Keystrokes are cheap (grins). If you want to crack under the hood with keyboard redefinitions, the internal commands are GROWTEXTAREA and EDITTEXTAREA for use with the KEYMAP lynxrc directive.
Hope this launches you on your way to exploiting all the goodness that Lynx has to offer.
