I am having the most difficult time trying to figure out how to copy a link URL in either of these two browsers and then paste it into vim. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? I am using Slackware 13.1. Any alternatives to copy/paste are also acceptable.

I did a quick search, and I found this:

Looks like you hover over the link and "shift+e" (or "shift+g" for current page) and copy it with "ctrl+shift+c".
