4.10 Saving and loading sessions

It is possible to save and load the emacs-w3m sessions sets.

You can save the set of the currently opened sessions for the future use. Just hit M-S and name the set.

Then you will ask how to take the saved sessions set back, won’t you? Hit M-s to open the sessions selection menu. The available command keys include:

<RET>

Open all the sessions of the selected sessions set.

M-s

Open the detail menu for the selected sessions set. You can open the sessions one by one in that menu.

d

Delete the selected sessions set or the session.

r

Rename the selected sessions set.

s

Save all the opened sessions. So does M-S.

n

Move the cursor to the next sessions set.

p

Move the cursor to the previous sessions set.

q

Quit the sessions selection menu.

Emacs-w3m saves some sessions automatically. If w3m-session-deleted-save is non-nil, emacs-w3m saves the closed sessions automatically. This would be helpful for recovering a session that has been closed inadvertently. If w3m-session-automatic-save is non-nil, emacs-w3m saves the opened sessions automatically when quitting emacs-w3m.

Sometimes you might forget the URLs of the pages you viewed with the interest. Of course emacs-w3m helps you even in such a case. If w3m-session-load-last-sessions is non-nil, emacs-w3m automatically opens the sessions set viewed last. If it is ask, you will be asked whether to take the set back (default nil).

You may have had a bad experience with a crash. It makes you disappointing, and makes displayed web pages lost. Emacs-w3m helps you also in such a case. If w3m-session-crash-recovery is non-nil, emacs-w3m saves displayed sessions set to use for crash recovering automatically and recovers saved sessions when emacs-w3m (or emacs, etc) crashes (default t). If w3m-session-load-crashed-sessions is non-nil, emacs-w3m automatically recovers the crashed sessions set. If it is ask, you will be asked whether to recover the set (default ask).
