Opening help file in web browser? #1324

Description

@PMassicotte

I am using this key binding to open help:

  {
    "key": "ctrl+f1",
    "command": "r.helpPanel.openForSelection",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'r' || editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'rmd' || editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'quarto'"
  },

Using ctr + f1 when the cursor is over a function, this open the help file in a new panel inside VSCode. Is it possible to open it in a web browser? This is working if I type ?plot in the console.

So I guess the question is more, can I replace "command": "r.helpPanel.openForSelection" with something else so the help page open in my browser?

Thank you in advance
