I'd never heard of Conkeror, so I started playing with it. I really |
| 9 |
like it (but *I* am an Emacs guy). If you do "M-x use-vi-keys" (where |
| 10 |
"M-x" is probably Alt-x on your machine) then it feels more vi-like |
| 11 |
(j,k scroll up/down; h,l go back/forward; colon for commands instead |
| 12 |
of M-x). |

It doesn't seem to do tabs, but it will open pages in different |
| 15 |
(Emacs-like) buffers. Use "C-x f" (with emacs keys) to open a URL in |
| 16 |
a new buffer. Then "C-x b" to switch between buffers. (Not sure what |
| 17 |
the equivilent vi-style keystrokes are, but they might be there) |
| 18 |
|

Of course, Conkeror is still Firefox underneath, so that won't help |
| 20 |
with it being a memory hog. |

Anyway, thanks for showing me something new and cool! |
