Can you give an example? I haven't noticed it yet.
For example, the wikipedia search url contains a '%'.

Haven't found an appropriate solution yet. So far i see two possibilities:
* lock all commands until the new page is loaded (won't work if one types too slow or the page loads too fast).
* Only follow a link after pressing return.                                                                                                                     
Any ideas are welcome.
Iirc, vimperator use a short timer during which all commands are disabled.

I thought of the readline one because is what vimperator use, but if you implement vi-shortcuts, it's better                                                                                                                                              
Readline shortcut however, would be useful in dwb 'command line'.
Using dwb as my main browser, I enjoy surfing the web with it. It is fast and it starts as fast as a terminal window (which is fast . Coming from vimperator but looking for a lightweight alternative, I was afraid that I would missed some of its functionality but it's not the case, though a command to cycle focus backward and another one to undo the closing of a view would be useful. Oh and maybe a way to copy the url of a link without having to reach for the mouse.
