You can cycle through the form fields on a page using [ and ].

Let's se...
You know that TAB moves to the next link. Now, in a w3m buffer, you
do:

C-h c TAB

and emacs tells you sometingh like:
 TAB  runs the command w3m-next-anchor

So, the command you are looking for is probably called
"w3m-previous-anchor". Thus you do

C-h w w3m-previous-anchor

Emacs will tell you what key it  is bound to or that it is not bound
to any key. In the latter case, bind it to a key of your choice, for
example M-TAB.

In general, study the chapter in the emacs manual about the help
system.

Best regards, Lukas
