Installation
npm install --global reopen-cli
Usage
Synopsis
reopen '<url>'
Example
reopen 'https://devdocs.io/#q=html'
reopen 'https://devdocs.io/#q=react'
Using with vim
Although you can use with any URL, one particular example would be opening
devdocs.io upon pressing 'keywordprg'
mapping which is K
by default.
Create a command.
command! -nargs=* Docs call system(printf('reopen "https://devdocs.io/?q=%s"', <q-args>))
Set 'keywordprg'
to that command.
set keywordprg=:Docs
Now, pressing K
under any keyword (or e.g. :Docs child_process
) will bring
DevDocs docs and repeating that would replace current open tab.
