Integrating web search engines, such as Google, into vim
The general usage is: :WSearch engineName keyword1 keyword2 ...
. For
example:
:WSearch google keyword1 keyword2 ...
:WSearch baidu keyword1 keyword2 ...
By default, google
, baidu
and mdn
is available without configuration.
If you set the current search engine, you can use :WS
command. The syntax is
:WS keyword1 keyword2 ...
You can set the current search engine in .vimrc
:
let g:webSearchCurrentEngine = 'google'
or set it danymically:
:WSEngine google
If you want to know the current search engine, just execute the command:
:WSEngine
and press enter
key. The result may be like this
WebSearch current engine: google
There are shortcuts to search the word under cursor:
-
<leader>ss
to search the word under cursor with current search engine in normal mode. -
<leader>ss
to search the selected text with current search engine in visual mode.
You can config g:webSearchEngines
to add web search engines in .vimrc
.
e.g.
let g:webSearchEngines = {
\ 'github': 'https://github.com/search?q=<QUERY>'
\ }
Then you can use this command:
:WSearch github keyword1 keyword2 ...
The <QUERY>
will be replaced with the keywords when you are searching.
