Well is there any general global variable (like GEDIT_CURRENT_SELECTION for Gedit) which stores the currently selected word so I can send it to browser like "firefox http://php.net/%s" or "chrome http://php.net/%s" in Windows/Ubuntu linux geany ?

How many variables are there like (%s) in geany and where can I get list of them and their usage possibilities ?

What exactly is the command you are using?

Do these programs read text from their standard input and send the
result to their standard output?  Note the output from the commands
replaces the selection, see

This does not relate to custom commands, its used in the context
action command, see
