Quick jumps guide
Lynx allows the use of short cuts to preconfigured URLs via the

closely as possible match the shortcuts configured locally in elinks.
This is a brief list of some of the perhaps more useful ones is:

Differences from elinks
There are obviously numerous differences between the two clients,
many of which may well depend on the capabaility of your terminal. The
biggest differences at present the print functionality of
Lynx which allows you to create personal bookmarks and mail web pages
to yourself, but as a counterpoint the Lynx jump function is less
sophisticated and flexable then Elinks smart shortcuts.
Work is of course on going in trying to bring the functionality of one
client to the other as long as it is achievable
via standard build time options
