+++ALTERNATE BINDINGS+++

Lynx invokes a built-in Line Editor for entering strings in response to prompts, in forms, and for email messages if an external editor has not been defined. Administrators can offer additional alternate key bindings by adding them in LYEditmap.c before compiling Lynx. If available, they may be selected via the 'o'ptions menu, or by editing lineedit_mode in the '.lynxrc' file.

Note: setting emacs/vi keys ON has no effect on line-editor bindings.
