#121 Allow arguments to be passed to shortcut

[dlip]

It would be beneficial if arguments could be sent to the shortcut. Utilizing the tab key (such as is done with Google tab then search string) would work well.

For instance notepad tab mydoc.txt would then open that document in notepad.

This would also allow Launchy to emulate the windows run box (that others have requested as a feature) by utilizing a simple batch file with a shortcut called run. The batch file would have one line: %1. Calling this with the command line argument would run whatever was included in the argument.

Awesome program by the way.

This is an oft requested feature. Looks like I just might have to make it happen somehow.

Thanks for your input,

and when it supports the other commands as win rum, like regedit pbrush and the other .bat files in C:\windows\system32\ i think. and there should also be a function to open folders when you types c:\programs\launchy for exemple. But you can also type winkey + r to open the rum form from windows.
