docs » Seal.plugins.urlformats

A plugin to quickly open URLs containing a search/query term This plugin is invoked with the uf keyword and requires some configuration, see :providersTable()

The way this works is by defining a set of providers, each of which contains a URL with a %s somewhere insert it. When the user types uf in Seal, followed by some more characters, those characters will be inserted into the string at the point where the %s is.

By way of an example, you could define a provider with a url like http://bugs.mycorp.com/showBug?id=%s, and just need to type uf 123456 in Seal to get a quick shortcut to open the full URL.
