3.4.1 Adding a URL to your favorites

There are several ways to add a URL to your bookmarks. The first one is to use the a key (or call the w3m-bookmark-add-current-url command) to add the page you're currently browsing: it will prompt you for a section to where the bookmark should go (completion is available with the TAB key) and will let you edit the title of the bookmark (the default being the title of the current page). Complete these two steps, validating each with RET, and you will see the message "Added" in the minibuffer, which means (surprise!) that the page has been added to your bookmarks.

Another way to add a bookmark is to use the M-a key (or call the w3m-bookmark-add-this-url command): it adds the URL under point (that means, the URL you would be taken to if you followed the link) to the bookmarks. As before, you will have to input the section for this bookmark and its title, the default being this time the name of the link itself.

The third and final way to do this is to use C-u a, this time you will be prompted for the URL to add, its section, and the title to use for it in the bookmarks.

a

Add the current page to the bookmarks, or if called with a prefix argument, prompt for a URL and add it (w3m-bookmark-add-current-url).

M-a

Add the URL under point to the bookmarks (w3m-bookmark-add-this-url).
