I don't know if using your own keymap in a howto is a great idea... I'd stick with the defaults or just name the commands. And yes, w3m rocks.

  I thoroughly agree, although... I think one of the main reasons for why I'm not using w3m more is because the keybindings feel so alien to me. Might try his to give w3m another shot.

    Yes, the defaults are a bit strange. Might be a little late to change them now. IMHO, the most important thing to improve the user experience is to enable link numbers. With link numbers enabled you can[0] jump to a link by typing the number and then LINK_BEGIN (default '['). [0]: Technically you can do this without enabling link numbers, but you need count the links yourself.

  Something like Plan 9's Mothra browser for the Unix console would be great. Support for images, mousing, a small command language and good shell integration. I like and use w3m a lot (I found the link and posted it here :), but maybe it already has a little too many settings to mess with. Then again, the lynx browser has more than 100, so YMMV. In this light, Mothra is refreshingly simple: http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9_2nd_ed/1/mothra http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9_2nd_ed/1/mothra

    It has a little too many settings/features for my taste. Unfortunately removing things doesn't attract user - adding things does. I never used mothra, but heard a lot of good things about the plan 9 tools. They got the advantage, that they could start afresh. I'm curious how much work it would be to port it to a *nix system.
