Action Panel

The Action Panel is the second step for a result. Enter runs the primary action; the Action Panel shows the other useful actions the plugin attached to that result.

Open It

  1. Highlight a result.
  2. Press Alt + J on Windows/Linux or Command + J on macOS.
  3. Pick an action with the keyboard and press Enter.

Common Actions

Actions depend on the plugin and the selected result. Typical examples:

ResultCommon actions
AppOpen, reveal in file manager, copy path, terminate running app
FileOpen, open containing folder, delete to trash, show system context menu
Clipboard itemCopy, paste to active window, favorite, edit alias, delete
Bookmark or URLOpen in browser
Plugin store resultInstall, uninstall, update, open website
Calculator / converter resultCopy raw result or formatted result

When to Use It

Use the Action Panel when the default Enter action is not the one you want. It is also the best place to discover what a plugin can do without opening settings or documentation.
