Ueli: Shortcuts: Additional Arguments for selfmade Script in Shortcuts

[JMountainMan]

First of all: Thank you! I love ueli, it makes my life so much easier.

I use a lot of self made scripts (mostly python). I open the Scripts using Shortcuts type: Comandline. It would be awesome to be able to call the script and giving it addtional Arguments.

example: This script takes two arguments

C:\users\me\.\pythonscript.pyw --ID:1002 --Name:Jon

Defining it in ueli:

C:\users\me\.\pythonscript.pyw --ID:{{arg[0]}} --Name:{{arg[1]}}

And then calling the Shortcut in ueli with:

myshortcut 1002 Jon

Again, Love your work. Thanks.

Indeed this is a fantastic work.

I think I have the same request, not for _script_, but for _application_. Thus I leave a comment here rather than open a new issue.

Here is the detail:

ueli has the everything plugin to pass the query to es.exe and the web search plugin to search in browser. Thus, I think it work the same if run some other apps.

So I try to locate goldendict.exe on the setting page of everything, and use es?[word] on ueli. It turn out to work fine.

input: es?test

it work the same as directly execute:

C:\...\GoldenDict.exe test

Many applications accept arguments even though they don't provide command-line interface, so I think this feature will be great.

Thanks again😊

I would love this. It seems like something like this used to be possible with customCommands (#50).

This would be really great. I used wo have a shortcut for "jira xxx-3123" which opened my local jira instance with the argument[0] as ticket. Maybe just allow a regex to be used as the "command"?
So in my case it would be:
Type: Url
Name: jira
Url: https://my.jira/jira/browse/{0}
NEW Field: Parameter Regex: (.*)
So this would then parse the whole argument string with the given regex and replace the placeholders in the url/command with the according capture groups before executing. This way you could even use multiple parameters.

I just found out for my scenario, I can use the "Web search" plugin.

Great idea and very useful feature, especially in terms of using argument with applications as hwongbaul mentioned above
