[Vimprobable-users] useragent switcher

[Jan N. <ne...@on...>]

Hi

	I hacked together a small patch to quickly change the useragent of
	vimprobable. It's based on my old quickmark-code and works like this:
	w{1..9} sets the respective line in USERAGENT_FILE as the new useragent.	

	It's not a very elegant solution at the moment but given there's enough
	interest I'd do do a more cleaner version.
	One problem is that the default browser needs to be in USERAGENT_FILE.

	I often change my useragent for various reasons, so this feature is pretty
	handy (for me). For example, one problem I recently ran into was the login
   	page of	paypal.com that didn't render correctly until I changed the
   	useragent to that of Safari.

	Using the useragent of an IOS device can also be really useful, as you
	get the - sometimes hidden - mobile version of a web page, which often
	'sucks less'.

This seems to be a patch against Vimprobable2. I don't think this
construct is really necessary; why not just use the :bind command to
define a few :set useragent=... commands?

Indeed, then it would be unnecessary. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know
the :bind command. It was written for vimprobable1 though. Seems I've checked
the wrong repository.

The current patch applies against keymap.h which only exists in
Vimprobable2. For Vimprobable1, this might be useful, though. Any other
opinions?

The feature is pretty nice, and I would use it. I have not thought about bind
to change the user-agent. I think for vimprobable1 this could be a nice patch,
but a can't decide, I always use vimprobable2.

Same here, twice :)
In other words: seems a nice feature, and I only use vimprobable2.
