3.6.1 Creating and killing buffers

It is sometimes useful to just create a new buffer without opening a web page in it. This operation is called "creating a twin copy" of a buffer, in emacs-w3m lingo. It will simply create a new buffer whose contents are identical to the currently active buffer.

The opposite of this is closing buffers: you can just close one buffer (because you're not interested in its contents anymore) or you can decide to close all buffers but the current one. Emacs-w3m lets you do this with the following commands:

C-c C-t

Create an identical copy of the currently active buffer, under a new name. This is used to start a new session without loading a web page in the new buffer (w3m-copy-buffer).

C-c C-w

Close the current emacs-w3m buffer (w3m-delete-buffer).

C-c M-w

Close all emacs-w3m buffers, but the active one (w3m-delete-other-buffers).
