Of all the things that I could post
I post this. I jumped over my various trips, new foosball mates, waveboard adventures, virtual titbits, great lunches, hot gossip and emotional roller-coasters to post this. The best thing since sliced bread. I never really liked sliced bread but u get the point ...:D

Yeah, one might wonder why all the fanfare about a plugin. I have wandered through the mazes of lynx, elinks and firefox itself for getting over the squeeky bastard. Now it rests on my left, while I rule the world with my split "natural" clickety-clackety-finger-punch-bag and wonder what the next wave will be.

My guess is this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stumpwm but I m not investing more time on this till there is a windows version. Till then I gloat over my newfound control of these pesky creatures.

it turns out that I use this more on my desktop than the laptop. I find the desktop mouse particularly painful. Btw have you heard the one about finding if your mouse is male or female :D

Well, just try this plugin and tell me. This is a huge improvement over pressing tab hazaar times, say reading NY times for example. This extension gives you random access and rather neat control over where you want to open the link that you want.

About the other window manager, that has a history. I must have told you about screen. I would say I am a heavy user of "screen". I like pretty much everything it has to offer. I always wished there was something like that which does it for GUIs as well. So there was "ratpoison", exactly what I wanted but there's something missing but I never got stumpwm, the successor to ratpoison, to run. So I satisfy myself with small pleasures like the firefox extension.

Long story with no content eh! :D
