Wunderbar98 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Posted December 20, 2021 This Links v2.25 port to DOS is indeed stable and good. Couple recent discoveries. The right-click 'open (link) in new window' actually opens up a new 'window'. Although tabs aren't supported, 'windows' are managed similarly via the Windows dropdown or keyboard (Alt-F1 to Alt-F#). If more than one window is running the 'q' (quit) key closes only the active window. Not documented in the 'Keys' (keyboard shortcut) pop-up, on this keyboard the Delete key allows scrolling two lines at a time. This is a nice discovery, as scrolling via up/down arrow is sometimes jumpy (jump from link to link). Slow scrolling via mouse can also be done by holding down middle mouse button plus up/down and, of course, Page Up/Down and Home/End keys to move about quickly.
Wunderbar98 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Posted December 21, 2021 The Insert key likewise slow scrolls up, also not mentioned in 'Keys' popup. Unfortunately it does not repeat when held down. Official slow scroll up/down keys are the letters 'p' and 'l'. My hands don't always hover there so Insert/Delete is convenient.
Wunderbar98 Posted May 6, 2022 Author Posted May 6, 2022 Posted via Windows 98's DOS 7 running Links v2.26, recently released, seems to work well, changelog link first post.
UCyborg Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 So, no JavaScript support yet. What's also funny, I tried running Windows version on XP some time ago and it complained about some missing API function.
Wunderbar98 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Posted June 12, 2022 Guess JavaScript's not a priority then @UCyborg ;)
Wunderbar98 Posted October 10, 2022 Author Posted October 10, 2022 Links v2.28 is available, same great browser.
shelby Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I use links under windows 3.11 it works flawlessly. I will test it under earlier windows version or even MS-DOS only to see if there is ani problems
