Hi there! I still use your extension every day!...

As time passes, Nova gets more sophisticated. One thing that has been introduced is the ability for the menu option to be only active for the syntaxes that it works with. This only requires a very, very simple change, namely, adding on the extension.json file a filters clause to the commands section:

"commands": {
        ...
        "editor": [
                ...
                "filters": {
                    "syntaxes": ["javascript", "html", "css", "sass", "scss",
                        "less", "xml", "vue", "typescript", "python",
                        "php", "ruby", "perl", "shell"]
                }
                ...

That's it. When/if more languages are supported, they should be added to that list. Nova will do the rest.

This also guarantees that there aren't conflicts between different document searching features from other extensions which might use a similar mecanism (as Search the Docs... will be greyed out on unsupported languages).

I simply adore your Nova plugin — so simple, yet it does everything I wanted! Now the big question is: short of having to fork your whole plugin every time I wish to add another language, wouldn't it be easier to have some sort of user preference to add further languages?
