Depending on how
2
documents are structured, it can be a great help to change navigation style.
3
The navigation styles can roughly be divided into page-oriented,
4
link-oriented and screen-oriented. They overlap in many ways, so this
5
separation is mostly used as a mean to present them.</p><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2516877"></a>Page-Oriented Navigation</h3></div></div></div><p>This involves scrolling documents horizontally and vertically. Documents
6
can be scrolled page-wise, where the next or previous subpage will be
7
displayed. It is also possible to scroll documents in steps, either
8
line-wise (vertically) or column-wise (horizontally). The step size can be
9
configured and by default is 2 lines and 8 columns. Alternatively, whole
10
documents can be scrolled to the start or the end.</p><p>The basic default controls:</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col align="left"><col align="left"></colgroup><thead><tr><th align="left">

31
navigate by jumping between links in the document. There are two ways to do
32
this; either you can move between links relationally or by number. Using
33
relational link navigation it is possible to focus the next/previous link or
34
move in a directional manner to the link in a certain direction such as
35
left/right/up/down.</p><p>In order to navigate using link numbers, you have to first toggle link
36
numbering on; this will prefix all links with a number using the notation
37
[number]. <code class="literal">[23]</code> indicates link number 23. When link numbering is enabled,
38
pressing any number key will pop up a "Go to link"-dialog where the complete
39
link number can be entered. By pressing Enter the entered link number will
40
be focused, but only if it is a valid link number.</p><p>Note: it is also possible to jump to links by searching the link text; check
41
the documentation on searching.</p><p>The basic default controls:</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col align="left"><col align="left"></colgroup><thead><tr><th align="left">

58
cursor or the mouse click to navigate the document. If you are familiar with
59
the w3m text-browser you will be familiar with cursor routing. Basically,
60
you move the cursor around — kind of like a mouse — in the document area
61
of the user interface. When the cursor is over a link, the link is
62
highlighted, and when the cursor moves outside the current document view, it
63
will cause the document view to scroll.</p><p>The possibilities when using the mouse to navigate the document depend on
64
what terminal you are using. In some terminals, it is possible to scroll by
65
using the mouse wheel. Scrolling is however also possible by clicking in the
66
edge areas of the document view. Highlighting links can be done by clicking
67
on a link but waiting to release the mouse button until the link is no
68
longer under the mouse pointer.</p><p>No keys are by default configured for cursor routing.</p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2517193"></a>Forms</h3></div></div></div><p>The status bar will indicate the type and name of the field.</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">
