# Vim Online Thesaurus
This is a plugin for Vim allowing you to look up words in an online thesaurus,
which is at the moment configured to be http://thesaurus.com/
The plugin displays the definition of the word under the cursor and a list of
synonyms.
The credit for the original idea and code goes to Nick Coleman:
http://www.nickcoleman.org/
## Installation
If you are using Vundle, just add the following line to your .vimrc:
```
Plugin 'beloglazov/vim-online-thesaurus'
```
Then run `:PluginInstall` to install the plugin.
Note: Earlier versions required the "Bundle" keyword instead of plugin (i.e. :BundleInstall
and Bundle 'beloglazov/vim-online-thesaurus'). However,
this is deprecated and should not be used any longer.
## Usage
The plugin provides the `:OnlineThesaurusCurrentWord` command to look up the
current word under the cursor in an online thesaurus. Alternatively, you can
look up any word with `:Thesaurus word`.
Internally, both commands make a request to http://thesaurus.com/, parse the
results, and display them in a vertical split in the bottom.
By default the `:OnlineThesaurusCurrentWord` command is mapped to
`K`. If you haven't remapped ``, it defaults to `\`.
To close the split, just press `q`.
## Configuration
If you want to disable the default key binding, add the following line to your
.vimrc:
```
let g:online_thesaurus_map_keys = 0
```
Then you can map the `:OnlineThesaurusCurrentWord` command to anything you want
as follows:
```
nnoremap :OnlineThesaurusCurrentWord
```
Enjoy!
