vim-googurl

===========

## Description

A [vim](http://www.vim.org/) plugin to easily create [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) links from a [Google](http://www.google.com/) query. I wrote this script because I used to toggle back and forth between vim and my [web browser](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser) when inserting [links](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link) into text.

## Install

Just drop the file `googurl.vim` into your `~/.vim/plugin` directory.

vim-googurl needs ruby support compiled in vim, and the following gems:

- json

## Use

The plugin will define a `FindUrls` command. Put your cursor over a word, call `:FindUrls` and you will be offered a set of choices drawn from Google.

For instance, suppose that you want to link to [Github](https://github.com/), put the word `Github` under your cursor, and invoke `:FindUrls`. You will be prompted to choose the URL among several Google matches. Make a choice, and the link will appear as `[Github](https://github.com/)` in your markdown file.

You may also query [urls](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_locator) for the current visual selection by pressing 'u'.

## Todo

Nice features would be:

- Make a [Wikipedia](http://www.wikipedia.org/)-specific version

- Extend to other markup formats e.g. [AsciiDoc](http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/)
