Browse from the Terminal

w3m

• brew install w3m (or apt-get or pacman or appropriate command for your OS/distribution)
• w3m <URL>
• Use arrows to traverse the page.
• Press Enter on a text or edit field. You'll see a prompt to type in your text.
• Press Enter to submit. (Duh!)
• Use Shift+b to go back. (Shift+Down Arrow also worked)

Search from terminal

Install ddgr or googler then

BROWSER=w3m ddgr query

This is helpful in reducing the distraction.
To be honest, search results view is not the best viewing experience. So one is not tempted to hang-around. Just find what you were looking for and get out 😆

tmux

• Chris Toomey's tmux course on Upcase
• Nord Theme for tmux
• Awesome tmux
• Oh My tmux
• (My) Cheat sheet
  • Set prefix to Ctrl+S
  • Scroll thru the buffer using Ctrl+S PgUp : This had me stumped for a while. Mouse wheel scrolls thru the history - which is not what one wants most of the times.

Terminal Emulators

I keep moving between these two.

WezTerm

This is quite stable, and is my fallback option while I explore Kitty. daily driver.
