run - executes commands or opens a file in its intended application (provided by Starbuntu)

run [<command | file>]

With the Starbuntu program "run" you can execute a command or open a file. If you don't specify the application the program chooses the default one for the regarding file type.

This program serves as a regular app launcher allowing also prepended environment variables. When it gets launched, p.e. with the hotkey Alt+F2, it inserts possibly marked file(s) in the primary selection which after 'OK' get opened with their default application.

While entering a command you can also use the "alias" definitions in $HOME/.bash_aliases or in $HOME/.bashrc as practical shortcuts for the commands. Starbuntu has predefined e.g. "a" for all-open and "x" for exec-desktop.

Your input will be saved in a history file which you open by clicking on the arrow on the right of the input field.
