I am using Vim 8.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.3
If I launch gvim and enter
:call netrw#BrowseX('http://github.com', 0)
the window flickers instantaneously and nothing further happens.
Performing the same action in terminal vim opens the URL in the
browser as expected.
It seems likely that this is an issue with how Gnome hands this off to
Linux. But where do I begin to prove this?
Well, here's two issues:
1) netrw requires a trailing "/", so you need 'http://github.com/' .
Didn't you get an error message at the bottom of the display?
2) unless you're hosting github.com on your personal pc, you probably
want "remote"
When I tried this with gx with the cursor atop the (corrected)
http://github.com/ string, I got the html source as expected; that's
with Scientific Linux.
So, as Christian Brabandt said, use netrw's debug mode and find out what
its doing on your system. If doing like I did (with gx) works, then run
debugging with that, too, and compare.
