Something that needs be addressed!
Plugins can "publish syntax" but this yields and entry on a pontentially large
list of one-liners that are barely readable at best. A click on this list
might be a place for more detailed/readable explanation. Not all runners
publish syntax, however (but runners needing such documentation usually
would/should!).
A runoptions entry could also be used for this but this necessitates use of
runoptions by the runner.
An button on the configuration for the runner could also be used but this
requires there be configuration dialog for that runner.
One the list view, right-click is not used. Might be a place!
