These tweaks have made a huge difference using lynx:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(sudo) edit /etc/lynx/lynx.cfg

#KEYMAP:UPARROW:PREV_LINK  (TO)  KEYMAP:UPARROW:UP_TWO
#KEYMAP:DNARROW:NEXT_LINK  (TO)  KEYMAP:DNARROW:DOWN_TWO

The change above allows for smooth scrolling using the arrow keys. Links,
forms and other elements no longer interfere with scrolling.

You can jump from link to link to form by using:

[TAB] and [SHIFT+TAB]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This second tweak is a work in progress LSS file. This is CSS for lynx. Name
it anything you want (I call mine 640kb.lss).

copy/paste the section below into a filename of your choice. Place it anywhere
in your system.

Usage examples:

   lynx -lss=~/bin/lynx/640kb.lss https://domain.com

   lynx -lss=~/bin/lynx/640kb.lss gopher://domain.com

   pandoc -s -f markdown -t html local.md | lynx -lss=~/bin/lynx/640kb.lss -stdin

   finger markdown@happynetbox.com | pandoc -s -f markdown -t html | lynx -lss=~/bin/lynx/640kb.lss -stdin   

The LSS (16 Jan 2026): Better than the default but I still have lots to do.

# Lynx color style for dark/black terminal background
# Based on official lynx.lss sample, with brighter/distinct colors for core tags

# Colors available (you can make most colors bright: brightred, brightgreen, etc):

# black, white (no brightwhite), gray, red, green, brown, blue, magenta, cyan, yellow (no brightyellow)

# Beta version (16 Jan 2026) as I was just trying to make a specific page
# readable. Over time, I hope to improve the color scheme. Maybe less is more.

# You can add additional TAGS and FOREGROUND:BACKGROUND pairs using the
# format below.
