[Vimprobable-users] percent-encoding of %s makes Web Archive shortcut fail

[Marcos C. <vim...@pr...>]

Hi all,

Some time ago I created this shortcut

  shortcut wa http://web.archive.org/web/*/%s

but it doesn't work because the parameter is percent-encoded and the Web
Archive doesn't understand it.

This

  :wa http://vimprobable.org

opens

  http://web.archive.org/web/*/http%3A%2F%2Fvimprobable.org

what shows a blank page.

But this works fine:

  :open http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://vimprobable.org

Is there any way to solve this?  Maybe an alternative to "%s", for
verbatim arguments?  I've searched the man pages and the wiki, but found
nothing related.

Thank you.
