    <link topic="&dactyl.apphome;">&dactyl.appName;</link> is a
    free browser add-on for &dactyl.host;, designed to make browsing more
    efficient and especially more keyboard accessible. Largely inspired by the
    <link topic="http://www.vim.org">Vim</link> text editor, the appearance
    and finger feel should be familiar to Vim users.
