Description of the new feature / enhancement
I would like to customize the Shell plugin to use a shell other than
cmd.exe
,PowerShell.exe
, orwt.exe
.Scenario when this would be used?
I have been using
wezterm
(https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html) and would like to have PowerToys Run launch that for the Shell plugin.Supporting information
I see the settings file at
%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Settings\Plugins\Microsoft.Plugin.Shell\ShellPluginSettings.json
(thanks to #3440 (comment)) but it appears that theShell
option is hardcoded based on an enum (I gather that from the description of #25661). I'd like to be able to set theShell
to a string or similar to launch a shell/terminal of my choice, e.g.wezterm.exe
