I had to do that with w3m because they also had long and far keystrokes for moving between the tabs as default. This was even more bizarre since w3m isn't a "type mode" - the entire keyboard (including single keys: "a", "f", etc.) is available! I found that "j" and "l" are good chaises for horizontal movement, and likewise "i" and "k" for vertical. Again, where they are on they keyboard, and where your fingers are... With tabs, and a buffer you'd type in, you'll need a prefix, of course, but the rest is applicable just the same... -- underground experts united
