@prahou
It would be nice if it had configurable keybinds, because the default ones are weird. Not terrible, just so different from anything else I've used.
Otherwise it (XLinks in particular) is one of my favorite browsers.

@rl_dane understandable. They're burnt into my muscle memory at this point, but I agree that they're something like - mostly emacsy with a sprinkle of `i dunno, maybe this'.

how are people answering 'it can't play gifs'. Sounds like they need to customise their mimes a little more

In their defense, see the caveat at the bottom:

btw it should absolutely not ever play gifs, that's bloat

@screwtape if I'm wrong, I'm ready to be corrected, but how would you open an image in GUI links in an external program?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from prahou@merveilles.town
@prahou oh I've actually never used gui links, is that what I was meant to be doing x_x.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from screwtape@mastodon.sdf.org
@prahou I think I got confused. Anyway, in the TUI version, the program field can obviously be a gif player such as mpv.

@prahou @Kierkegaanks @screwtape Yeah, that can pretty much be part of it too, after all home computers aren't comparable to their 80's equivalents where you could type out everything.
At least I'd rather keep it to base and not say ditching ports or breaking compatibility too much from third-party software.

@prahou Somehow I feel like links2 could get something like a tapir as a mascot.
Maybe to go with dillo that of course would get an armadillo.
