2:06 PM EDT 		Anyone know a good way to follow links from the keyboard. If I hit tab it immediately takes you to the top and you have to tab through possibly 100s of links.

Cntrl-F to open the find bar. Search for the text immediately before the link. Esc to close the find bar. Tab to highlight the link.

Hope it helps.

You can skip the first step if you turn on that option that auto-searches as you type.

Note that the above method finds words whether they're links or not. You'll have to hit F3 to skip around. Try it now with the "Publish it here." link on the right. hit "/", type "pub", hit F3, hit Enter.
