I hadn't notice that MOUSE was one we hadn't dealt with before.
Well, MOUSE and SGRMOUSE do *something*, though the only effect I've
been able to detect is that they interfere with clicking on a link
to move the cursor.

I would guess it's something like this one:

My point is that "in a tab" is ambiguous in ways that the
alternatives aren't. Fortunately, as I say below, phrasing it as
"in a *new* tab" works pretty well to eliminate the ambiguity so my
nitpicking below doesn't really matter.

Here it's not saying "as a browser-tab", it's saying "within a UI
with a tab-bar".

Again, the hit is on something that just happens to have "in a"
adjacent to something like the word "tab", and it's talking about
virtual thumb-tabs as a page-design element rather than actual
browser-tabs.

This *is* saying "in a browser-tab", but it's not clear whether it
means "within a (preexisting) tab" or "created as (the content of) a
new tab".

An example of "in a tab" being used for "within a (preexisting)
tab", and I suspect it doesn't mean "browser-tab".

"Within preeexisting virtual thumb-tabs".
So as far as I can tell *none* of those hits were for "in a tab" in
the sense of "open this link in a tab"!

(We should avoid "within" when we're talking about the tab coming
into existence.)

Yes, that's enough of a disadvantage that I'm not pushing for it -
"in a new tab" works well enough.

Ah! The source of my bafflement was just that I hadn't worked out
you were using <""> to mean an escaped <"> within <">-quotes.

I'm not sure why you'd want those longer versions. Personally, I
always find "in front of the cursor" confusing - shouldn't anything
in front of the cursor stop me seeing the cursor? BEFORE and AFTER
are technically correct enough for the function names, and they
don't make me worry that I don't know which end of the gun is the
shooty end.

Ah! I've got it. You create a file in your w3mconfigdir called
"menu" (like /usr/share/doc/w3m/examples/menu.default) and fill it
with commands that you want to be able to access by popping things
up from the MENU binding. And then picking an option off that menu
that's bound to SUSPEND effectively calls "bg".
I even configured a menu once; I never used it, but it's still in my
archives.

We should at least make "input line" into "Input line".

In fact they are related languages, as you can easily tell from the
affixes used to mark second-person-masculine-singular possessive; -k
in Ancient Egyptian, -ka in Ancient Hebrew. "Ankh ka-k" is "may thy
soul live".
