Tim here. If your focus is on a text-entry field, using control-x followed by control-e will save the content to a temporary file and then open your configured editor (whether in your lynx configuration, your $VISUAL environment variable, or falling back to your $EDITOR environment variable) pointed at that file. You can then merrily edit the file. When you save & quit (or just quit without saving) the file that was on disk will become the contents of the text-entry field. It also happens to be the same key-combination used in bash to invoke your $EDITOR/$VISUAL on the command you're currently typing so you can edit the command with the full power of that editor.
