[4] > When some other pressing life issues are out of the way, I may try and build a plugin for Vimperator - the text-input-driven Firefox plugin - to expose some commands for navigating based on rel-next and rel-prev. I already do this to some extent - I was browsing a rather clumsy image gallery with 50 items in it on a newspaper website recently. I was using Vimperator's hinting+search feature, so I could type 'f' followed by the word 'next' and it would narrow the link choices down to only those with the word 'next' matched case-insensitively. So I recorded a macro in Vimperator that would do this by typing '@n'. Unless anyone has any better suggestions, any plugin I write will implement this: "Choosing the first <a> or <link> that defines @rel as each of the next/previous would mean that both cases are covered." For Mac users with the new multi-touch trackpads on their laptops, it'd be pretty neat to have the three-fingered left and right swipe wired up to use rel-next and rel-prev links on search results, image galleries etc. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/
