Comment 2 for bug 912531

I am compiling a set of key bindings for vm-mode-map that includes all of the useful w3m functionality, such that vm-w3m-use-w3m-minor-mode-map can safely be set to nil and forgotten. Watch this space for the details :-)

An important but badly documented function missing from w3m-minor-mode-command-alist is w3m-view-url-with-external-browser. It opens a link in an external program that is chosen by MIME-type. I use this much more often than w3m-view-this-url because so many Web pages use AJAX stuff nowadays and don't work in w3m at all.
