1. A computer navigation system having a microprocessor, comprising:
- one or more interactive links displayed on a display connected to a computer device; and
one or more visual linktags associated with particular ones of the one or more interactive links, the one or more visual linktags displaying one or more numbers, characters or symbols,where the system is enabled to initiate a particular interactive link of the one or more interactive links in the display upon receiving user input of a particular one of the numbers, characters or symbols associated with a particular visual linktag, where the particular visual linktag is separate from and displayed simultaneously with the particular interactive link,where the one or more numbers, characters or symbols are automatically assigned to the particular ones of one or more interactive links in response to the display containing the one or more interactive links being provided to the computer device,where display of the one or more visual linktags is initiated by a predefined input and terminated, while the one or more interactive links are displayed, by the predefined input, such that keyboard or voice-controlled navigation is toggled on and off by the predefined input, andwhere the one or more visual linktags, if toggled off, are saved and, if toggled on again, re-displayed without re-creation.

13. A method performed by a computer device, the method comprising:
-
displaying, using a processor associated with the computer device, one or more visual linktags associated with particular ones of one or more interactive links in the interactive display, the one or more visual linktags displaying numbers, characters or symbols separate from, and simultaneously with, particular ones of the one or more interactive links; automatically assigning, using the processor, the particular ones of the one or more numbers, characters or symbols to the particular ones of the one or more interactive links in response to the interactive display containing the one or more interactive links being provided to the computer device; initiating, using the processor, a particular one of the one or more interactive links, in response to receiving input of the particular one of the one or more numbers, characters or symbols displayed separate from, and simultaneously with, the particular one of the one or more interactive links, where display of the one or more visual linktags is initiated by a predefined input and terminated, while the one or more interactive links are displayed, by the predefined input, such that keyboard or voice-controlled navigation is toggled on and off by the predefined input, and where the one or more visual linktags, if toggled off, are saved and, if toggled on again, re-displayed without re-creation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A storage device having stored thereon a set of instructions executable by one or more processors, the storage device comprising:
-
one or more instructions to display one or more visual linktags associated with particular ones of one or more interactive links in the interactive display, the one or more visual linktags displaying numbers, characters or symbols separate from, and simultaneously with, particular ones of the one or more interactive links; one or more instructions to automatically assign particular ones of the numbers, characters or symbols to particular ones of the one or more interactive links in response to the interactive display containing the one or more interactive links being provided to a computer device; one or more instructions to initiate a particular one of the one or more interactive links associated with a particular one of the one or more visual linktags in response to receiving input of a particular one of the one or more numbers, characters or symbols displayed separate from, and simultaneously with, the particular one of the one or more interactive links; and where display of the one or more visual linktags is initiated by a predefined input and terminated, while the one or more interactive links are displayed, by the predefined input, such that keyboard or voice-controlled navigation is toggled on and off by the predefined input, and where the one or more visual linktags, if toggled off, are saved and, if toggled on again re-displayed without re-creation. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
