quit w3m without confirmation

Like many console people I’ve set w3m as my man pager, i.e,

alias man=’TERM=xterm LC_ALL= w3mman’

when w3m is available.

However, there’s one thing bother me alot: whenever I quit the man page (from console, not within Emacs), w3m asks if I really want to quit. This is borthing.

So I finially turns myself to the document today. And it’s so easy: if I hit “Q” instead of “q”, there’s no confirmation and w3mman just quits.

But “Q” is harder to hit than “q”… And after some more doc reading. Here’s the solution:

Add in the file ~/.w3m/keymap (create one if it’s not there) and add this line in:

keymap  q       EXIT

Now it’s what I want: “q” to quit man pages without confirm :)

    Looked for this! Thanks!
    Case I don’t want it to be always like this, I added it to a diffrent named file not ~/.w3m/keymap and modified my alias to w3m -o keymap_file=
