	Under debian you can make the d key do exactly what you want
by uncommenting and defining  the DOWNLOADER item.  Something like

DOWNLOADER:Use wget to download: wget -b %s:TRUE

Alternatively, you could use the mouse to cut the url, then hit '!'
and do a wget -b <paste_url_with_mouse> and then exit.
