w3m: Open a URL without mouse support.
$ w3m ${http:--example-com} --no-mouse
try on your machine

The command "w3m ${http:--example-com} --no-mouse" is using the w3m text-based web browser to view the specified webpage (http://example.com) without enabling mouse support.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "w3m": This is the command for launching the w3m browser.

  • "${http:--example-com}": This is the URL of the webpage you want to view. In this example, it is "http://example.com". The "${http:--example-com}" is a placeholder syntax used to represent the URL.

  • "--no-mouse": This option is used to disable mouse support in the w3m browser. By default, w3m has mouse support enabled, but this flag removes that feature and makes the browser work purely with keyboard inputs.

Overall, the command is instructing w3m to open the specified webpage (http://example.com) in a text-based interface, without mouse support.
