Help

The command :MapathonHelp picks up the word under the cursor and uses sprintf to format the url:

Assembles a shell command: g:MapathonBrowserExec + g:MapathonBrowserArgs + sprintf(url,word_under_cursor)

Search

Call search in your browser:

:MapathonSearch <search-terms>

:MapathonSearch please google fix my bug
:MapathonSearch please stackoverflow fix my bug

Assembles a shell command: g:MapathonBrowserExec + g:MapathonBrowserArgs + g:MapathonBrowserSearchFlag + shellescape(searchterm)

Configuration

Configure your browser via these variables in your .vimrc:

let g:MapathonBrowserExec = 'firefox'
let g:MapathonBrowserArgs = '-new-window'
let g:MapathonBrowserSearchFlag = '-search'
