I used surf for several weeks last year. I had the same problem, so I
hacked a mode interface like vi has. It is just a quick hack, it is
outdated, and I don't use it anymore, but maybe it helps.

See attached diff which is against:

The patch also removes function calls that were not provided by my
older webkit version. I'm sure you can figure out what the relevant
