w3m - external browse

w3m - external browse

[Hadron Quark]

I have ma default "return" browsing inside a w3m buffer. In addition I
have this:

 (global-set-key (quote [f4]) 'browse-url-firefox)


In order to browse links in an external firefox.

The problem is that when using this inside a w3m page, the code picks up
the hyperlink description text instead of the hidden link itself.

e.g I hit f4 over a hotlink saying "Visit my Page" and I get a url of

http://Visit My Page

Any suggestions on how to get the underlying hyperlink?

I do not believe I missed that. Thank you David.

I dont suppose some clever sod could provide the lisp I use on F4 to
call the w3m function if its a w3m buffer or browse-url-firefox if not?

 (global-set-key (quote [f4]) 'browse-url-firefox)

need to call 

w3m-view-url-with-external-browser

if its a w3m buffer.

Or would I be better off mapping f4 seperately to a w3m keyboard map? I
dont want that as it would duplicate the existin "M" command.

Keep the global binding, and override it with a local binding in w3m
buffers:

(add-hook 'w3m-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (local-set-key [f4] 'w3m-view-url-with-external-browser)))

Sorry for the late appreciation, but thanks for this perfect solution!
