I most certainly do - the convenience of using browser the way I'm already
comfortable with outweighs aesthetic displeasure from inconsistencies. It's more
likely that I'll change behavior of info mode :)

Thanks, that seems to work fine but I'm unable to combine it with previous advice:
how do I make use of backspace to go to previous page in the same buffer?

While I'm at it - which function in w3m responsible for switching tabs? I'd like to
bind it ctrl+tab

Also, could you help to clarify terminological confusion? I thought that "session" is
a collection of tabs currently opened (or stored somewhere) but the function to open
stuff in new tab called "...-url-new-session" - why so?

thank you,
Max.
