Specifying url template

You can specify web sites which can be opened by extension.

There're openInWeb.defaultAction property for default action template and openInWeb.actionList for Web Action List templates.

If openInWeb.defaultAction property is empty, Web Action List will be opened instead of default url opening.

Url template can contain %SELECTION% and %LANG% keywords. %SELECTION% will be replaced by selected text and %LANG% will be replaced by current file language (html, javascript, xml...).

For example, default settings of extension:

{
    "openInWeb.actionList": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.google.com/search?q=%SELECTION%",
            "label": "Google Search"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://yandex.ru/search/?text=%SELECTION%",
            "label": "Yandex Search"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%SELECTION%",
            "label": "DuckDuckGo Search"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://www.google.com/search?q=%LANG%%20%SELECTION%",
            "label": "Google Search (+language)"
