Besides that, "view" is easily introduced again. Further > possibilities: > > v Toggle between plain and rendered HTML > v Toggle viewing as plain or rendered HTML This makes it sound as if w3m only deals with either "plain HTML" or "rendered HTML", whereas in fact it also handles text that's just plain plain. Meanwhile, some notes: When I finally get round to looking at README.func I'll need to bear in mind that some of them are duplicates. We already ran into SEARCH and SEARCH_FORE; then I noticed that keymap.default sets "v" as VIEW while keymap.lynx sets "\" as SOURCE - looking at the DEFUNs in main.c, it turns out that those are synonyms too. Likewise: ABORT = EXIT BOOKMARK = VIEW_BOOKMARK DOWNLOAD = SAVE EXEC_SHELL = SHELL INTERRUPT = SUSPEND NOTHING = NULL PRINT = SAVE_SCREEN SEARCH = SEARCH_FORE = WHEREIS SOURCE = VIEW The docs seem to think that INTERRUPT aka SUSPEND means ^C (explaining it as "stop loading"), but no, it's ^Z (send w3m to the background). There needs to be a warning somewhere that a keymapping of keymap DEL EXIT will associate the *backspace* key with the instant-quit function, not the *delete* key - for DELETE mappings you (probably) need to say "M-[3~ EXIT". And if anybody does want to define a keymapping for BCKSPC without it being so confusing, the alternative name for it is "C-?". Looking again at PIPE_BUF and co., and assuming the command used with each is something like "df": PIPE_BUF Claims to "Send rendered document to pipe"; in fact it shows the command's output in a new w3m buffer. PIPE_SHELL "Execute shell command and browse"; a completely different function, but it's indistinguishable from the above (even the status line message is the same). EXEC_SHELL "Execute shell command and load"; in fact suspends w3m, runs the command on the commandline (showing its output), prints "[Hit any key]", and resumes w3m on input. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
