Quick Start with 2 easiest plugins¶

Wox is a plugin-based launcher, so what you learn to use Wox is actually learn to use some plugins.

Normally the input string should look like A xxxxx, where A is the Action keyword, and xxxxx is what you want to tell the plugin.

2 important definitions are: action keyword(or keyword, action word maybe) and query. Keep these TWO in mind.

The way to input query: Press Alt+Space and a query box appear, then you can

Calculator¶

Input: 1+1 (Press ++Alt+Space++ to open box)

In this 1+1, we use the plugin Calculator at default
- It will return 2
- If then you press ++Enter++, 2 will copy to clipboard

Let's analyse.

There is some plugins that do not use any action keyword, Calculator is one of them. We can change this later.
The query string is 1+1, which means you want to know the answer
The author of Calculator calculates 1+1 and return 2 to you. There may be more results if the plugin changes or query varies.
Meanwhile this plugin give you the ability to Copy to clipboard, if you press Enter.

Cmd¶

Input: > echo hello world

> is the keyword. hello world is the query string. Then it open a console ad print hello world.
