    vim reStructuredText syntax and some more

    The same thing for reStructuredText is described here. For markdown it is similar and there is also a link to implementation.

  • Vim

    The official Vim repository

    Oh man this feature has been broken and fixed so many times lol (https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/4738). It's a little weird because it's actually part of netrw (the default file browser plugin in Vim) and not technically a core Vim feature and there were some back-and-forth about the state of maintainence of netrw. I think it's finally fixed for now though in the latest Vim which is good.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • vim-gf-python

    Plugin to enhance support for vim's 'gf' map in python.

    Or try a version in python.

  • open-browser.vim

    Open URI with your favorite browser from your most favorite editor

    Not sure that it works in that case, but open-browser might handle it better. It supports searching as well as opening urls.
