Re: FAQ.html and MANUAL.html, was Re: fwd: Re: Re: Please review changed man-file of w3m
Finally getting round to a basic review of README.func:
> ABORT Quit w3m without confirmation
> ACCESSSKEY Popup acceskey menu
* There is no such function as ACCESSSKEY - it's ACCESSKEY.
* "Popup" is the noun; the verb is "Pop up" (here and elsewhere).
* "Acceskey" is the opposite typo.
* I can't make out what this command is supposed to do.
That first typo is a good sign, though: I'd been worrying that maybe
this file was autogenerated somehow from comments in the code, so it
would be pointless to correct it.
Make it:
ACCESSKEY Pop up accesskey menu
> ADD_BOOKMARK Add current page to bookmark
^s
> ALARM Set alarm
> BACK Back to previous buffer
> BEGIN Go to the first line
> BOOKMARK Read bookmark
View bookmarks
> CENTER_H Move to the center line
> CENTER_V Move to the center column
> CHARSET Change the current document charset
Tab inconsistencies fixed throughout.
[...]
> DOWN Scroll down one line
> DOWNLOAD Save document source to file
This also works when what you're viewing is just a textfile, so
DOWNLOAD Save document (source) to file
[...]
> EXEC_SHELL Execute shell command
> EXIT Quit w3m without confirmation
Make that:
EXIT (See ABORT)
and likewise throughout.
> EXTERN Execute external browser
> EXTERN_LINK View current link using external browser
> FRAME Render frame
^s
> GOTO Go to URL
> GOTO_LINE Go to specified line
> GOTO_LINK Go to current link
That makes it sound as if it moved the cursor to the nearest "click
here"; what it means is:
GOTO_LINK Follow current link
> GOTO_RELATIVE Go to relative URL
> HELP View help
> HISTORY View history of URL
That makes it sound like a sort of serverinfo archive trawl.
HISTORY View browser history
[...]
> MARK Set/unset mark
> MARK_MID Mark Message-ID-like strings as anchors
> MARK_URL Mark URL-like strings as anchors
> MARK_WORD Mark current word as anchor
s/anchor/link/g.
> MENU Popup menu
> MENU_MOUSE Popup menu at mouse cursor (for mouse action)
(Those are cases of s/Popup/Pop up/)
> MOUSE_TOGGLE Toggle activity of mouse
"Toggle mouse support".
> MOVE_DOWN Move cursor down (a half screen scroll at the end of screen)
> MOVE_DOWN1 Move cursor down (1 line scroll at the end of screen)
> MOVE_LEFT Move cursor left (a half screen shift at the left edge)
> MOVE_LEFT1 Move cursor left (1 columns shift at the left edge)
1 column, singular (and likewise for RIGHT1).
[...]
> NEXT Move to next buffer
> NEXT_DOWN Move to next downward link
A downward link would be a link that leads to a point later in the
same page. All these need to be rephrased as, e.g.:
NEXT_DOWN Move downward to next link
Oh, there was also trailing whitespace - I've fixed all those by
accident.
[...]
> NOTHING Do nothing
> NULL Do nothing
"(See NOTHING)"
> OPTIONS Option setting panel
No verb; I would suggest "Display option setting panel"
> PEEK Peek current URL
> PEEK_IMG Peek image URL
> PEEK_LINK Peek link URL
"Peek" isn't a transitive verb (except perhaps in programmerese); say
"Peek at".
[...]
> WRAP_TOGGLE Toggle wrap search mode
That's "Toggle search wrap mode".
