I'm liking Konqueror more and more each day. Just today I discovered this wonderful neat trick. I had noticed that once in a while some weird characters would appear all over my konqueror window and I thought the display was going bad or something was messed up in Konqueror.
Well, it turns out that if you press “Ctrl”, Konqueror will assign single-character hotkeys to each of the visible links on the page. And so you can just press '1' or 'X' or whatever key konqueror has assigned to a link to jump to that page without ever having to move around your mouse. And its a great accessibility feature as well – when I don't have a mouse handy, I hate pressing tabs to move around links.
And I just realized that Konqueror is really smart in figuring out exactly which links it should consider. Try it out for yourself.
Neat.
Update (2005/10/12): this not only works for links, but also for form fields and buttons! I'm attaching a screenshot below.

Interesting - it doesn’t do that in my konqueror (deb/sarge, erm, 3.3.2), I presume it is a more modern feature. I’ve seen this before in a mozilla extension: “hit-a-hint”:http://users.tkk.fi/~psillanp/hah_hp/
