I like Saka Key in Firefox, but the reason that it's so useful there is (in my opinion) that it makes Firefox more Emacs-like. In Emacs there's a plethora of functions for moving around in buffers (like C-s) and I don't think the Saka Key paradigm fits that well with Emacs stuff... I could see this being a part of one of the autocompletion DWIM modes (like Company or Ivy or the like), though, for those who like that. But I don't really see it as part of core eww. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
