I installed the eww-lnum package right away, as that provides the main functionality I liked from Conkeror: hit a key, and pick a link to do something with. Rather strangely, the KeySnail plugin for Firefox seems to do everything *but* this, which I thought was weird since, if you're going to control your browser through the keyboard, following links is generally the main thing you want to do. I've only had it for a few hours, though, so maybe I'm missing something. In eww, I was originally looking for "open in new tab"/"open in background tab" functionality, but it's not there. Then I discovered that eww-lnum is supposed to provide exactly that, through various permutations of the prefix argument to `eww-lnum-follow'. You're supposed to get "follow in new session" with a C-u prefix, and "follow in background" with a negative prefix. But when I used either of those options, the links were instead opened in my (newly-installed, newly-KeySnailed) Firefox instance. That was unexpected, but actually welcome -- it means I have a way of choosing whether to open links in Emacs/Eww, or Firefox. It's clearly not the way eww-lnum is meant to work (and I'd still like to be able to open a link in a background eww session), but that can remain another mystery for another day. E
