I found a handy tip, for executing a string under the cursor, in mswindows by
using this mapping:
:silent !start rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler<cWORD> <CR>
This should call a dll file which knows whether to launch a browser, an email
client, a wordprocessor etc. depending on the content of the string.
But when I try this mapping with an html string likewww.google.com, vim
addes extra characters to thewww.google.comstring. They appear too fast for
me to capture, but include things like %20 which appear to be instructions to
a terminal like xterm. My term for gvim is set to builtin_gui which seems to
work Ok. I tried setting it to win32 but got garbage.
How do I prevent extra characters from being added to my string with<cWORD>?
This should work
:nnoremap<silent> <F12> :silent !start rundll32
url.dll,FileProtocolHandler<cWORD><CR>
It's safer to use expand() and to escape potentially problematic
chars in the URL string.
:nnoremap<silent> <F12> :exe 'silent !start rundll32
url.dll,FileProtocolHandler '.escape(expand('<cWORD>'),'%#')<CR>
Another example:
vmap <silent> <C-F5> :<C-U>let old_reg=@"<cr>gvy:silent!!start rundll32
url.dll,FileProtocolHandler <C-R><C-R>"<CR><CR>:let @"=old_reg<cr>
