Haa... yes nice... How about a way to activate a hyperlink from keyboard? I have a list of videos that are displayed as hyperlinks on a web page. will navigate to next and to previous link and I see they are selected... but I find no keyboard action that does whatever a mouse click does to hyperlinks... I thought either or but neither of those activate the links. Also tried quite a few other keyboard combos, but never did find one that activates a hyperlink like a mouse click does. Thanks for the paste combo!
