[gui-talk] Losing Position On Google Search Results Page

[Raul A. Gallegos]

This is because there has most likely been a change on the page when you 
come back to it. This is especially more noticeable when there are ads 
which reload some sort of banner each time you go to the page which 
happens even by an alt-left arrow from the page you were in. In 
Window-Eyes I do the following.

ctrl+end, shift-v twice.

That takes me to the bottom of the browse mode buffer, then shift-v 
takes me to the next to last visited link, which in most cases is the 
link I just visited. Since I tend to visit many hits when doing a Google 
search, this does the last visited result. Of course, one can always use 
the 3h command to move to each search result if one wants.

Many thanks.
