# Gifl:  Google I'm Feeling Lucky URL Grabber

Textmate sure was a swift kick in the ass for a lot of the editors:

bundles, integration, carpal-crucifying key bindings?  Yet the old ways

remain seductive and in the expanse between Textmate 1.0 and Textmate

2.0 alpha, many found themselves picking up the tried-and-true editors

and moving them to meet up with features they liked about Textmate.

Lack of this feature was keeping my friend [Daniel

Miessler](http://danielmiessler.com/) from converting to Vim as his

blogging platform -- no more!

This plugin wraps a term set in a URL derived from the term's "I'm

feeling lucky" URL.  This is great for blogging or referencing known /

famous URL identities.  

# Configuration

`g:LuckyOutputFormat` : set to "markdown" or "html" for link formatting

# Examples

## Notation

*  is `\`

* \* is cursor position

* | | denote visual selection areas

## OK, the examples already

    *lindsay lohan

    \gifl2e

    [lindsay lohan](http://www.myspace.com/lindsaylohan*)

alternatively:

    *Zooey Deschanel  # v2e

    |Zooey Deschanel| # \gifl

    [Zooey Deschanel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooey_Deschanel*)

    

If you like angle brackets:

    :let g:LuckyOutputFormat='html'

    *Bazinga!  # \gifl$

    Bazinga!

# Installation

I'm using this with [Janus by Yehuda and Carl](https://github.com/carlhuda/janus) so

installation was super-easy:

    `cd ~/.janus`

    `git submodule add git://github.com/sgharms/GIFL.git gifl`

Restart Janus and you're good to go.

# Status

Very, very, *very* alpha.  Report issues here for me to repair.
