# Shell Plugin
|
|
- Shell plugin emulates the Windows Run Prompt (Win+R).
|
|
- Shell Plugin is one of the non-global plugins which has an action keyword set to `>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Functionality
|
|
- The Shell command expands environment variables, so `>%appdata%` works as expected.
|
|
- On inheriting the Shell plugin from Wox, there are three different ways of executing a command, using the command prompt, powershell or the run prompt. To uphold the name of PT Run, the Shell plugin always executes commands as the Run prompt would.
|
|
- The Shell plugin has a concept of history where the previously executed commands show up in the drop down list along with the number of times they have been executed.
|
|
- The Run prompt has the folder plugin function where we can navigate to different locations and entering the path to a directory displays all the sub-directories. To prevent reimplementing this logic, the shell plugin references the folder plugin to implement this functionality.
|

|
### Score
