I use Vimperator as well. It's a great idea, if only it wasn't so utterly broken.

No, I can live without Vimperator, but some sort of smart Javascript blocker is a must. Qt5 was a massive headache last time I tried to build it for trying out that new version of LXDE, but I'll check Qupzilla out regardless. Thanks.

I use FVWM95 as my window manager, except I don't use it. I start an xterm and start every app from the console with an added & to keep the console free. I use heirloom mailx as the mail client: no security holes.

You do not need FVWM95 then, TWM should suffice

In the pic you see TWM configured for Slint.

Vi is no such thing, sir! Eh... Vim isn't, at the very least.

I asked elsewhere, but since we're on topic, any quick tips for someone attempting to learn the basic capabilities of emacs?

(666) Funny! I don't remember seeing that during the long text editors war.

EDIT: A quick Internet search showed references to this. I must lead a sheltered life. I'm a VI user and haven't had a need to visit emacs sites. I guess I need to expand my reading.

Have you tried the built-in tutorial?

I was feeling lazy and felt like fishing for some easy but crucial tips, the sort I haven't gotten from vimtutor, for instance.

At any rate, didn't even know emacs included the equivalent of that. So thanks.

I would advise a cheatsheet sticked to the edge of the monitor.
There would be quite few handy for GNU/Linux:

Bash escape sequences
Vi keybindings (multi paged)
Emacs keybindings (-^-)
GIMP key bindings
Libre office keys
XFCE keys
mc (midnight commander) keys
screen keys
tmux keys
SeaMonkey keybindings
links keys
lynx keys
lilo cheatsheet

maybe even publish a binder with sticky hard cover for select (many) programs?

Lol, just about memorized most of the Bash and XTerm ESC sequences. Having a great deal of free time, I like to add colorful text, geometry, menus, mouse support, and all sorts of ADD things to simple terminal programs and even Bash scripts. Without ncurses. Great deal of free time.

Most other things like Lynx, xpdf, bash, window manager, etc. I just map Vi keys and be done with it. Probably not a great practice if I need to use another machine.
