Repo is here. https://github.com/mjbrownie/browser.vim                               This plugin opens a website by making a lynx -dump call behind                the scenes and takes advantage of the dumps link references so                you can click on links and browse through a site.                It seems to work well on wikipedia and any text friendly sites                when all you want is a quick definition to settle a factual debate... etc.                Included are some 'K' keywordprg modifications to give you some ideas.                 (If you have any file type specific suggestions please email them to me)                :WebBrowser www.vim.org                To open a web page                :Wikipedia the life of brian                Will open en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<search term>                :Google <search term>                Opens google to the search term                :GoogleLucky <search term>                Opens Lucky Google search                you can also create your own site specific googling eg.                  com! -nargs=+ GooglePythonDoc call OpenGoogle(<q-args>, 0 , 'docs.python.org')                (make the second arg 1 for lucky)                               Within the browser view the <tab> key cycles through links and                pressing <cr> will open a link.                the u key seems to work ok as a back button
