http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/113144

I don't think

+  (cond ((eq system-type 'windows-nt)
+        'browse-url-default-windows-browser)
+       ((eq system-type 'darwin)
+        'browse-url-default-macosx-browser)
+       (t
+        'browse-url-netscape))

is a good choice for `eww-external-browser'.  Who still uses netscape? And why 
duplicate all the effort to find the default browser when this is already done 
in browse-url.el?

I think using `browse-url-default-browser' as default value makes more sense.

We could also try to use `browse-url-browser-function', unless it is set to 
eww itself:

  (if (memq browse-url-browser-function '(eww-browse-url eww))
        #'browse-url-default-browser
      browse-url-browser-function)

Regards,
Rüdiger

I don't seem to have that variable defined in my Emacs.

Perhaps.  If `browse-url-browser-function' had some separation between
internal and external browsers, then that would help.

I have my default-browser set to eww. This function calls an external
browser. I have used it for many years. It does what I mean.

You mean your `browse-url-browser-function'?  That's why my suggestion checks 
if it is eww and then uses the `browse-url-default-browser' function in that 
case.

If that's not working for a user than she can still customize the `eww-
external-browser' variable.  But I think it's a much saner default than trying 
to launch Netscape, which nobody uses anymore, isn't even maintained, and is 
non-free software.

Regards,
Rüdiger

What makes you think I am launching Netscape? I use Firefox.

And looking at the definition of the function, we can just use that
function directly as the value of `shr-external-browser'.

Funny how I don't read anymore ;) The code launches Firefox and DTRT for
me. That is it open the site in a new tab.

`browse-url-netscape' works on any of the Netscape family -- Firefox,
Mozilla, etc.

Please bind the keybinding "w" to the command that copies the
current URL from `eww-current-url' to the kill ring because "w"
is used by similar commands `Info-copy-current-node-name' in Info
and `dired-copy-filename-as-kill' in Dired.  Note that both
commands have the word "copy" in their names, not "yank".
So to reduce confusion please rename `eww-yank-page-url'
to the name with the word "copy" such as `eww-copy-current-url',
and then bind both `eww-copy-current-url' and `shr-copy-url' to "w".

As for where to bind `eww-browse-with-external-browser'
what do you think about the keybinding "&" (with the mnemonics
of an async command)?

wget.el is a very good package, I welcome its inclusion into Emacs.

For the examples of the integration of wget with eww, see the files
w3-wget.el and w3m-wget.el.  A similar file could be created
with the name eww-wget.el.

I won't do that. 'y' is doing what it did in emacs-w3m. As to 'w' it's a
mnemonic for web browser which is the key I use. If you want something
else you will have to convince Lars, not me.

awkward for me.

The author hasn't replied so it's unlikely it will be included.

I think all this makes sense, so I've done these changes.

What does wget.el do that's better than what `url-retrieve' does?
