In this video I showcase the incredible tool that is W3M, a terminal web browser, that allows you to surf the web from within your terminal. Yes... this does exist! Perhaps you are SSH'ing onto a headless server or perhaps you just hate css, regardless of your reasons this tool exists and gives you a text based web browser in the safety of your terminal so that you never have to open Chrome or Firefox ever again... It may look weird and complicated, but i promise you its not and this video will make it a breeze learning how to interact with the software so that once you have watched, even just the basic keyboard commands, you can immediately pick up the tool and use it to your advantage... ...Tutorial part starts at 02:08 (incase you want to skip ahead) In this video I explain to you what w3m is and most importantly how to use it with a break down of each of the basic keyboard shortcuts that enable you to become a power user of the software. After that I dive slightly deeper into some of the more complicated commands and how trigger and use some of the features that 'normal' browsers give you that w3m ALSO gives you they are just hidden from immediate view. Finally I show you a 'real world' example of how a programmer that only has access to a Terminal could solve their development issue, highlighting that this is an incredibly useful and versatile tool in any toolbox! To learn more for yourself, here is a link to the online manual for w3m... http://w3m.sourceforge.net/MANUAL Please reach out to me with ANY questions at all and thanks for watching, please let me know if there is any other topics that you would like me to cover as I add more and more content to this channel...
