Yes. That behavior seems to be dependent on the particular flavor of
UNIX being used (FreeBSD, Linux, etc), shell (tcsh, sh, etc), and the
stty/term settings in use.
Unfortunately, the TEXTAREA "escape" key that was chosen in the past,
was ^V, which also happens to be the default used in some installations
as the command-line "quote" key (also called "lnext in stty man pages,
and stty -a output).
For the time being, if using a double-^V bothers you, you can always
put a "stty lnext undef" cmd in your .cshrc file (or the equivalent for
your OS/shell), if you don't normally use ^V as a shell cmdline quote
char.
Or, if you do use ^V in that manner, invoke lynx through a wrapper script
of the form:
#!/bin/sh
stty lnext undef
$HOME/bin/lynx "$@"
stty lnext ^V
exit
or some such.
In the future, a "better" choice of a TEXTAREA escape char may make sense,
but such changes should be made in conjunction with whatever is decided
on for implementing multi-char commands in general, etc.
Note also that when NOT in a TEXTAREA, ^V is the lynx command that by
default switches between the SortaSGML and TagSoup modes of HTML parsing
(ie, the SWITCH_DTD cmd). With the default bindings, etc, you'll also
need to hit ^V twice to invoke that cmd.
^V is way too overloaded, but for now anyway, that's the way things are ...
