  1. vim-rst

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. vim-gf-python

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

    Or try a version in python.

  5. 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.
