If you use the excellent Pentadactyl plugin for Firefox to get vim super-powers to the browser, here is a quick and painless way to toggle between a direct connection to the internet or using the default proxy settings. Add this to your
Now pressing
~/.pentadactylrccommand proxy -nargs=1 :set! network.proxy.type=<args> nmap up :proxy 1<CR> nmap np :proxy 0<CR>
up (Use Proxy) will enable Manual Proxy Settings while pressing np (No Proxy) will use Direct Connection. network.proxy.type can take other values which might be suited to your setup. You can change the key bindings too.
I think you have your nmap args wrong for the arrow keys. This is what worked for me:

nmap <Down> :proxy 0<CR>
Regardless, thanks for the tip. This was just what I was looking for.
:) Brandon, up is the letter 'u' followed by the letter 'p' and not the arrow keys
