Ctrl + Shift + X launches the X Terminal app.

There’s a Ctrl + Shift + I in the web browser that enables reflow mode (zoom in and the paragraphs are reflown to fit within the screen width).

These are documented: Backspace in the browser goes back a page, Space scrolls down a page, Shift + Space scrolls up a page.

My two cents: SmartFit and Fit to Width have been done for years by Access's Netfront browser, which, to me, provides the greatest amount of control over how content is displayed, of any mobile browser I've used. I can tell it whether to include graphics or not, whether to display just the text without any page layout formatting or display it with page layout formatting, turn on or off a virtual window, etc.

With NetFront I can view written content pages without distracting ads or images, and they load ultra-fast over cellphone networks. But more importantly, the text wraps and flows over a single screen without ruining the entire page.

Such features would be highly desirable in Fremantle. I agree with the OP and several commenters that horizontal scrolling is undesirable.

User-specified CSS files may be a way to mitigate the problem, but only if Fremantle respects CSS specifications with regard to text flow, font sizes, etc. (I haven't tried it yet).

Then again, there's always Lynx...

NetFront may well be superior, I have no idea, but, in Diablo, especially with tear browser, I get great use out of Readability if I want just text and Skweezer (put your URL in the Search box) if I need more than text. Check them out!

Great find! The key-combo isn't the easiest to manage, but this could be really useful to avoid horizontal scrolling sometimes. Thanks!
