Hello everybody, I'm using lynx (Lynx Version 2.9.0dev.5 (27 Feb 2020)) on a Linux system and enjoy it very much. I have a question though, so maybe you could help me out if at all possible. I have a bash script that generates urls and copies them to the clipboard. I wanted to be able to call the script from inside lynx, have it generate the url and then pass it over to lynx. Initially I thought of doing that by using the TO_CLIPBOARD and PASTE variables but I stumbled upon this bug which I reported: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2022-02/msg00044.html Instead I went a different route, which works perfectly but encompasses a lot of keystrokes, which I was hoping you could help me automate at least a little bit, or ideally to a single one. So what I have been doing is utilizing the lynx jumpfile, which by the way is amazing. I have the script added as a lynxexec and named it u. The procedure is as follows: Pressing j for the jumpfile, pressing u to call the script, have the script do its work and then pressing ENTER to return to lynx. Next pressing g for the GOTO and finally pressing Ctrl+Shift+v to direct me to the url. It works like a charm but is there any way to automate the procedure through a keybinding or some other solution? I guess no, but I figured of asking before I dive even deeper into the rabbit hole (in my desperation have been reading on .lynx-keymaps from posts in the 90's on the archive). Thank you in advance and have a great day.
