Wox is a plugin-based launcher, so what you learn to use Wox is actually learn to use some plugins.
Normally the input string should look like A xxxxx, where A is the Action keyword, and xxxxx is what you want to tell the plugin.
2 important definitions are: action keyword(or keyword, action word maybe) and query. Keep these TWO in mind.
The way to input query: Press Alt+Space and a query box appear, then you can
Input: 1+1 (Press ++Alt+Space++ to open box)
- In this
1+1, we use the pluginCalculatorat default- It will return
2 - If then you press ++Enter++,
2will copy to clipboard
- It will return
Let's analyse.
- There is some plugins that do not use any action keyword,
Calculatoris one of them. We can change this later. - The query string is
1+1, which means you want to know the answer - The author of
Calculatorcalculates1+1and return2to you. There may be more results if the plugin changes or query varies. - Meanwhile this plugin give you the ability to
Copy to clipboard, if you press Enter.
Input: > echo hello world
>is the keyword.hello worldis the query string. Then it open a console ad printhello world.
