Open URL under cursor in Vim with browser

Question

I\'m using Twitvim for the first time. Seeing all the URLs in there made me wonder, is there any way to open the URL under the cursor in your favorite browser or a specified one

Answer 1

I use this script to search gooogle for keyword under cursor:

nmap g :call Google()
fun! Google()
    let keyword = expand("")
    let url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=" . keyword
    let path = "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/"
    exec 'silent !"' . path . 'firefox.exe" ' . url
endfun

You should use getline('.') and matchstr() to extract url under cursor. The rest is the same.
