Adding to quick launch

    new = function () -- contructor for the command
        local self = {}, urlescape

        self.execute = function() -- method that is called when executing the command
            local view, seltext, result

            view = erc.activeview()
            if not view then return end -- make sure we have the view

            seltext = view.selection.gettext()
            if not seltext then return end -- make sure we have a selection
            
            result = urlescape(seltext)
            view.selection.replacetext(result)
        end

        urlescape = function(input)
            local output = Uri.EscapeDataString(input)
