Will fix "recentdocuments", then. Not sure about "locations" though. It is not 
"places": it does not list favorite folders but is a way to open random urls, 
what matches would you show by default?

>From the documentation [1], I understood having a default syntax was mandatory 
for single-runner mode. It makes it possible for Homerun to only list 
available runners with a single-runner mode, without actually loading them to 
check if they have a default syntax, which is nice.

Any runner should be able to run alone, so I don't understand why it would be 
necessary to flag them, but I may be missing something.
