For Discourse, hit the ? key to bring up the page describing keyboard shortcuts.

It's true that the composer is a web thing rather than your own editor (although there's browser plugins for that...). And it's also true that the software changes and not necessarily on your timeline. But with that in mind: * Discourse does let you compose and save draft messages * There's a handy "bookmark" feature which I use all the time. You can give a reason for bookmarking something so you remember later, and give it a future time to notify you. > I tried loading https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ in Lynx, but it's > way too "busy" to be able to visually browse it, and of course it has > the "best viewed with JavaScript enabled" tag, which is usually > kiss-of-death for Lynx users (in fact, I couldn't see a way to log in or > post/comment). I'm actually pretty impressed with how decent it is in elinks for a modern website. I do think you need Javascript to post, though. (And our elinks does not seem to be built with such support, which probably isn't sufficient anyway, alas.) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
