I'm not the OP, but if his tool behaves like Conkeror/Vimperator, that's how it works. > I'm afraid I don't find this compelling functionality.

Firefox and Chrome have extensions for this kind of functionality (Conkeror, Vimperator, Vimium...) They are very popular, with hundreds of thousands of downloads. I'm a Vimperator user because reaching for the mouse for clicking a link is anti-ergonomic and slow. I'm also a happy eww user and I do not miss Conkeror-like navigation there, but that is just because the type of web pages I visit with eww. For the rest, I'll rather switch to another web browser than stop using Conkeror-like navigation.
