Better documentation about supported RegEx syntax #37

Having just installed this Chrome extension, I was surprised that there were no mention of the supported RegEx syntax. Neither on the Chrome Webstore, here on the ReadMe, in the extension itself (Right-click>Help), nor is it mentioned in an issue here on GitHub.

It would be REALLY useful with a compact "cheat sheet" for those who do not recall which character class shortcut to Word Break, how to express a Reluctant quantifier, or specify negative lookbehind.

Also, from within the extension context menu, it would be useful with a link to a complete syntax reference for the RegEx dialect.
