"Close the tab the mouse is pointing at" would be more normal English,
but that seems longwinded compared to the *_MOUSE functions below; to
match those I would expect something like
Close tab at mouse pointer (for mouse action)

Or maybe "a one-column shift", but as long as RIGHT is consistent...

It still takes me a long time to work out which of these three does
what, but I can't think of any better way to explain them. PIPE_BUF
is for feeding web pages through rot13; PIPE_SHELL and READ_SHELL are
two ways of getting the output of "df" that are distinguishable only
by their status-lines. And meanwhile EXEC_SHELL backgrounds w3m and
shows you the "df" output in your terminal. Or indeed lets you run
w3m from inside your w3m session.
