Here's what i do:

(add-hook 'w3m-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
  (define-key w3m-mode-map (kbd "<up>") 'previous-line) ; was w3m-
previous-anchor. Use Shift+Tab.
  (define-key w3m-mode-map (kbd "<down>") 'next-line) ; was w3m-next-
anchor. Use Tab.
  (define-key w3m-mode-map (kbd "<left>") 'backward-char) ; was w3m-
view-previous-page. Use B.
  (define-key w3m-mode-map (kbd "<right>") 'forward-char) ; was w3m-
view-this-url. Use Enter.
))

i think it is good to make this default. More intuitive for emacs
users.

PS i noticed that w3m is 2 or 3 times slower than a full featured
browser. I have w3m in text only mode. I have a function that looks up
webpage in both Opera and w3m in emacs. The opera almost always
finished loading the page 3 or more times faster than w3m with emacs.
(the Opera has image, css on. My w3m has images off.)
