Send commands to vimperator via browser's command line about vimperator-labs

[maxauthority]

Hi,

first of all, thanks for answering the StackExchange questions!

And yes, it is possible, the complete syntax here:
https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs/blob/master/common/locale/en-US/starting.xml

So try that:

firefox -vimperator "+c 'js alert("from commandline");'"

would show an prompt after starting firefox or

firefox -vimperator "+c 'open "from commandline"'"

should open the url or search the web.

If it is really required to put that content into the command line, you can
try the normal command:

firefox -vimperator "+c 'normal ":open this is a search"'"

Hope that helps,
Martin

The open command would be passed to to the vimperator command line. This Q
was asked on the U&L stackexchange site where I'm one of the mods.

I just saw, that if the user really just wants to search for something
(with :open), he'll have to do it delayed as there is a race condition with
the firefox loading code.

Use something like:

firefox -vimperator "+c 'js liberator.sleep(1000) && liberator.open("this
is a search");'"

I saw that you responded to the OP, thanks for taking care of this quickly and efficiently. He had also asked for an example of how to roll what you gave him into a function, so I provided him those details on your answer there as well. I'm going to close this issue since it seems as though it's been resolved on the vimperator end. Thanks again for a wonderful addon. I use it too 8-).
