  • thanks, sadly the operative words are "Hover cursor" and "link under cursor". Not what I'm after. It's actually really depressing how people reflexively suggest purported solutions involving the mouse, even though my very first sentence explains how that is unsuitable.

  • I hoped that it will pick up the link that you selected using your method. Sorry that this didn't work for you. I'll see if I can find something else.

  • Excellent question! Yes, I do use MK - I would probably kill myself if they didn't exist :( . But: 1. even with MK, it is a terrible chore to position the pointer over a link - it's just too small a target. and 2. MK go away with Wayland - I'm lucky I'm on a distro / desktop that hasn't switched yet.

    On the phone I many times need to zoom into the page to click on a small link. Perhaps you can do this with MK for precision.
