lynx-dev Re: [PATCH 2.8.4dev.20] Hot place for URL goto

[Ilya Zakharevich]

A lot of stuff I did is enabled only for color-style lynx.  If you
need it for a dumbed-down lynx, feel free to *port* these features
(right now I remember only the Back/Forward pseudo-buttons on the
title line).

The reason is that one needs a *different* implementation if no
color-styles are available - otherwise the indicators for the "hot
spots" on the title line will "merge" into the title.  [I hate the
"invisible" hot spots, as those on the right of the title line, and
the left/right of the status line.  Nobody knows about them - and
nobody will.]

P.S.  I see no reason for existence of a dumbed-down style-less lynx.
      One can easily implement the same *behaviour* by a suitable .lss
      file.

      Do not even mention the executable size.  With the mindless
      the-hell-with-thinking-let's-just-code-it approach to coding
      which pervades the lynx sources, the executable size could be
      reduced 3 or 4 times by recoding in a proper way.  Who is doing
      this?

      Thomas is trying, but he is only touching the corners.  And
      remember the "who is needing this?" unison when I started to
      simplify GridText.c?
