Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem or bug, just an annoyance. Currently when typing a link in Vicinae, it never gets picked up if it's not prefixed with "http://" or "https://".
Describe the solution you'd like
An option to extend the capability of the URL opener. So it can treat these inputs as links and open them with default browser:
- http://brave.com (works)
- https://brave.com (works)
- www.brave.com (doesn't work)
- brave.com (doesn't work)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Typing the full link
Additional context
Maybe a logic that treats all input text that include a dot or end with this as a link: .com, .net, .org, .fr, .us, ...
