Flow.Launcher.Plugin.SlickFlow\n\nA lightweight productivity plugin for [Flow Launcher](https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher) that lets you create, manage, and launch **custom shortcuts and aliases** for applications, scripts, or files — all from the Flow search bar.\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Features\n\n- 🧠 **Instant search** for custom aliases and app names\n- ⚙️ **Run executables** with arguments and optional admin privileges\n- 🏷️ **Add, remove, update aliases** directly from Flow\n- 🖼️ **Custom icons** per item (local file or URL)\n- 🔗 **Meta items** — one alias that chains and launches several others\n- 🧩 **Parameterized items** — `\u003c\u003cname\u003e\u003e` placeholders with a guided prompt UX\n- 🪟 **Window mode** control (normal / minimized / maximized) and working directory\n\n---\n\n## Commands\n\n\u003e Every command that targets an existing item accepts **either an alias or the item's numeric `id`**.\n\n#### ➕ Add a new item\n\n```bash\nadd \u003calias1|alias2|...\u003e \u003cfile-or-url\u003e [args...] [runas]\n```\n\n- Multiple aliases separated by `|`\n- `\u003cfile-or-url\u003e` can be an executable, a path, or an `http(s)://` URL\n- Optional `args` are forwarded to the process\n- Optional trailing `runas = 1` runs the item as Administrator\n\n#### 🏷️ Add aliases to an existing item\n\n```bash\nalias \u003cexisting-alias-or-id\u003e \u003cnewAlias1|newAlias2|...\u003e\n```\n\nAdds one or more new aliases to an item that already exists. Duplicates are ignored. Use this when you want a second/third name for an item without re-creating it.\n\n#### 🗑️ Remove a single alias\n\n```bash\nremove \u003calias\u003e\n```\n\nDeletes the specified alias from its associated item. If the item only has one alias left, use `delete` instead — `remove` refuses to leave an item nameless.\n\n#### ❌ Delete an entire item\n\n```bash\ndelete \u003calias-or-id\u003e\n```\n\nRemoves the item and **all** aliases associated with it.\n\n#### ✏️ Update item properties\n\n```bash\nupdate \u003calias-or-id\u003e \u003cproperty\u003e \u003cvalue\u003e [\u003cproperty\u003e \u003cvalue\u003e ...]\n```\n\nUpdates one or more properties on an existing item. You can pass several `property value` pairs in a single command.\n\nSupported properties:\n\n| Property              | Description                                                          |\n| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `args` / `arguments`  | Command-line arguments passed to the process                         |\n| `runas`               | `1` = run as Administrator, `0` = normal                             |\n| `startmode`           | Window state: `0` = Normal, `1` = Minimized, `2` = Maximized         |\n| `subtitle`            | Subtitle text shown under the item in Flow results                   |\n| `workingdir` / `workdir` | Working directory for the launched process                        |\n\n\u003e To change the target file/URL itself, `delete` and re-`add` the item (the file path is not editable via `update`).\n\n#### 🖼️ Set a custom icon\n\n```bash\nseticon \u003calias-or-id\u003e \u003cicon-path-or-url\u003e\n```\n\nAssigns a custom icon to the item. The source can be a local file (e.g. `C:\\icons\\my.png`) or a URL — the plugin downloads and caches it locally.\n\n---\n\n## 🔗 Meta items (alias chains)\n\nA **meta item** is an item whose \"file\" is a list of other aliases wrapped in `@` markers. Launching a meta item executes every alias in the chain (depth-first), so a single keyword can fire off a whole workspace.\n\nSyntax:\n\n```bash\nadd \u003calias\u003e @\u003calias1\u003e@@\u003calias2\u003e@@\u003calias3\u003e@\n```\n\nExample — one alias that opens your editor, terminal, and browser tab:\n\n```bash\nadd work @code@@term@@docs@\n```\n\nMeta items can reference other meta items; the chain is cycle-safe (re-entering an ancestor throws cleanly) and unresolved aliases are reported instead of silently skipped.\n\n---\n\n## 🧩 Parameterized items (placeholders)\n\nEmbed placeholders inside `FileName` or `arguments` to be prompted for values when launching.\n\nSyntax:\n\n```\n\u003c\u003cname\u003e\u003e\n\u003c\u003cname=default\u003e\u003e\n\u003c\u003cname=default|hint\u003e\u003e\n\u003c\u003cname|hint\u003e\u003e\n```\n\n- `name` — the parameter name (required, cannot contain `\u003c \u003e = |`)\n- `default` — optional default value\n- `hint` — optional hint shown beside the prompt\n\nWhen you launch a parameterized item, SlickFlow enters **prompt mode**: it rewrites the Flow search bar to a guided template and walks you through each placeholder. Press `Enter` to advance to the next one; press `Enter` on the last placeholder to launch.\n\nPrompt-mode query format (you don't type this by hand — SlickFlow builds it for you):\n\n```\n\u003calias\u003e | filled1=value1 | filled2=value2 | currentName: your input here\n```\n\nExamples:\n\n```bash\n# A parameterized URL — prompts for \"query\"\nadd g \"https://google.com/search?q=\u003c\u003cquery|search term\u003e\u003e\"\n\n# Defaults: \"port\" defaults to 8080 unless overridden\nadd serve \"python -m http.server \u003c\u003cport=8080\u003e\u003e\"\n\n# Combine with meta items — placeholders from every leaf are collected,\n# deduplicated by name, and prompted in order.\nadd devstack @api@@web@\n```\n\n---\n\n## 📚 Examples\n\n```bash\n# Simple shortcuts\nadd note|notepad notepad.exe\nadd admincmd cmd.exe \"\" 1\n\n# URLs\nadd yt|youtube \"https://youtube.com\"\n\n# Update properties on an existing item\nupdate yt args \"--new-window\"\nupdate yt subtitle \"Open YouTube\" startmode 2\n\n# Add another alias to an existing item\nalias yt tube|video\n\n# Custom icon (from a URL)\nseticon yt \"https://www.youtube.com/favicon.ico\"\n\n# Meta item that fires several aliases at once\nadd work @code@@term@@docs@\n\n# Parameterized item with default + hint\nadd gh \"https://github.com/search?q=\u003c\u003cquery|repo name\u003e\u003e\"\n\n# Cleanup\nremove note\ndelete notepad\n```\n\n---\n\nAuthor: Kafu\nLicense: MIT\nVersion: 1.0.0\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkafuexe%2Fslickflow","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkafuexe%2Fslickflow","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkafuexe%2Fslickflow/lists"}
