Commandline vimperator-like browser?

Question

When browsing normally I use Firefox with Vimperator installed, which gives you vim-like key bindings so you can browse without the mouse.

However, every now and again I have to browse from the commandline (often through SSH), and I've been using lynx for this, but it feels horribly inefficient after Vimperator - which would be perfect for doing this. Is there a CLI browser (text only, obviously), that works like Vimperator does?

Answer 1

You can continue to use lynx for this. To change the key bindings, open up lynx, hit 'o' for options, and change the option VI keys[sic](under the third section) to ON.

Answer 2

Alternatively, you can start lynx with vikeys argument:

lynx -vikeys

To start lynx with vi key binding turned on.

Answer 3

I don't know lynx, but I use elinks which I believe is a side-branch from the same original tree. It's very featureful and can be configured to work much like vimperator. The command-line browser that seemed to have the most vim-like bindings of those I encountered is w3m. It can do some things elinks can't (like display graphics in-page, with elinks you need to press a key to show them in an external viewer). But after trying w3m for a short while I went back to elinks---it was better-featured in respects that I cared about day-to-day. I don't want to sell either of them to you, just present some options.
