lynx-dev LYNX: SUGGESTION: "UNIQ" on "L-page"

[David Combs]

All I have to show you is this page on puppies:


                                               List Page (Lynx Version 
2.8.3dev.15)

Say you're getting a puppy, and want to download
one of each of the above items.

Note all the duplication in this page!

(Suppose it were 500 items long!)

---

OK, guys, yes, if you RE-do the L-page, you can see
where you have already been.

But (I just tried it) a ^R doesn't do it -- you
have to BACK UP to prior page, and then do
your "L".

A pain.

----

But a "uniq", maybe a call to nawk then sort and
uniq, or to perl to sort AND uniq "by field".

Or, now that I think of it, sort by field WITH
OPTION -u (hoping that that uniques on ONLY the
same field) -- because uniq has no field-arg.

No, that won't work AT ALL.  
(Just woke up, body awake, brain
still asleep.)

Actually, this is something that MUST be done
WITHIN lynx, because you then will want to
"click" on an item, so it is the DATA STRUCTURE
for this page that has to be sorted and uniqued --
or easier, hashed, and on inputting into hash table,
if already there, simply don't insert this one.

If lynx already has hash-tbl facilities, then this
become an pretty easy addition.

---

Command for it: maybe rebind "L", when IN THIS l-page
, to mean "UNIQ THIS PAGE".

Or maybe ^R (which currently just reFORMATS it).
