Re: Exec Web Browser

Hi,
Instead of "!start SOMETHING" you could try simply "!start %". This way Windows will use your default browser.
Not tested.

On Windows, the following worked to send a file to Firefox.

    :!start "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" %

The following mapping also worked.

    nmap <silent> <leader>w :silent !start "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" %<CR>

Beware of responses on stackoverflow.  The quality varies from very
good to horrible.  The ":exec" is not needed in your example above.
Windows executables other than Windows utilities are typically not
found in PATH, so you usually need to specify the full path name.

HTH,
Gary
