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
- Highlight a result.
- Press
Alt + Jon Windows/Linux orCommand + Jon macOS. - Pick an action with the keyboard and press
Enter.
Common Actions
Actions depend on the plugin and the selected result. Typical examples:
| Result | Common actions |
|---|---|
| App | Open, reveal in file manager, copy path, terminate running app |
| File | Open, open containing folder, delete to trash, show system context menu |
| Clipboard item | Copy, paste to active window, favorite, edit alias, delete |
| Bookmark or URL | Open in browser |
| Plugin store result | Install, uninstall, update, open website |
| Calculator / converter result | Copy 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.
