# Console commands
Vim Vixen provides a console for `ex`-style commands, similar to Vimperator.
Open the console with <kbd>:</kbd>. Or populate it with initial values using
<kbd>o</kbd>/<kbd>O</kbd>, <kbd>t</kbd>/<kbd>T</kbd>, or
<kbd>w</kbd>/<kbd>W</kbd>.
## `:open`
The `:open` command operates two different ways, depending on the parameter.
When the parameter is a URL, it's opened in the current tab.
```
:open http://github.com/ueokande
```
Otherwise, the current tab opens a search page with the supplied string (defaults to Google).
```
:open How to contribute to Vim-Vixen
```
To use a search engine other than the default, specify the search engine to use as the first parameter.
```
:open yahoo How to contribute to Vim-Vixen
```
To adjust the default search-engine and add/remove search engines, see the [search engines](./search_engines.html) section.
## `:tabopen`
Open a URL or search-engine query in a new tab.
## `:quit` or `:q`
Close the current tab.
## `:quitall` or `:qa`
Close all tabs.
## `:bdelete`
Close a certain tab.
You can add `!` to the end of the command to close a tab even if it is pinned:
```
:bdelete!
```
## `:bdeletes`
Close tabs matching the specified keywords.
You can add `!` to the end of the command to close pinned tabs:
```
:bdeletes!
```
## `:winopen`
Open a URL or search-engine query in a new window.
## `:buffer`
Select tabs by URL or title keywords.
## `:addbookmark`
Create a bookmark from the current URL.
```
:addbookmark My bookmark title
```
The keymap <kbd>a</kbd> is a convenient way to create a bookmark for the
current page. It populates the console with `:addbookmark` and the title of
the current page.
## `:set`
The `:set` command can be used to temporarily override properties in the
console. See the [properties](./properties.html) section for more details on
the available properties.
