Accept arguments

[tborychowski]

Thanks for this amazing app!
It's the best thing that happened to my mac since Alfred (10 years ago)!

It would be fantastic if a script could accept arguments, e.g.:

• I'd like to search npmjs.com for a module
• I'd like to create a script called npm that I run like so: npm lodash - which opens url: https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=lodash

Current problems:

• typing script title and something else - just shows File, google & duckduckgo searches.

Alternatively - you could allow custom searchers (so e.g. npm, stackoverflow, github could be added), but the former would give users more power :-)

We're gonna look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.

Would love to be able to execute Laravel Artisan commands. Am able to add the artisan command as a cast but since it doesn't accept arguments it isn't really worth much.

An issue I do wonder about is long running commands eg. npm run dev if I were to create a compact cast for this command how would I go about stopping it?

+1 here! would really like to have this feature. in my eyes it looks like this:

1. you press tab while your custom script is selected (like it is with clipboard history)
2. you see the prompt where you could type something
3. you press return and script gets executed with whatever was provided as an argument

+1, I have save problem. I hope my custom script can accept arguments too.

Quick update on this one: the implementation of this feature is in progress.

[PitNikola]

Support for arguments is now added in v1.2.0, see Passing Arguments section for more details.

We also added a separate folder for web searches. @tborychowski, feel free to create PR for npm search 😉

Thanks @PitNikola!
That works great and opens up a world of customizations! :-)
Here's the PR for npm: #89
