[Vimprobable-users] generate an open command with the current URL?

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

Hi all,

I'm trying Vimprobable2 1.2.0 on Debian armel. My system is
keyboard-only (Ratpoison + GNU screen + keynav) and Vim is my main
working tool, so I find Vimprobable great. Congratulations to the
developers!

I miss an option to generate an open command with the current URL (what
the ";O" binding does with links).  Elinks, my favourite console
browser, provides such command (goto-url-current) and I find it very
useful.

I've read the man pages and I think it's impossible to do this with
Vimprobable yet, isn't it?

An option to generate an open command with the URL from clipboard would
be interesting too.

Thank you.
Marcos

It is possible, just use O or T (if you want to open a new window based
on the current one's URL). If that's not on the man page, it is an
oversight.

That indeed does not exist as a direct keybinding, but it is possible
using the regular commands: Type 'o', then Ctrl-v (GTK standard) to
paste from the clipboard.
