Folder Plugin

Folder completes directory paths as you type. It listens globally, so a path such as ~/Documents or %LOCALAPPDATA% can become a folder result without a keyword. The default keyword is cd, and it can be renamed or removed in plugin settings.

Browse actions use the keyword configured for Folder at that moment. This includes Shift+Enter inside Folder and File Search. A keyword query keeps the file preview available, collapsed until you open it. If every concrete keyword has been removed, browsing falls back to a global path query, which does not carry a preview.

Quick Start

cd ~/Documents
~/Documents
C:\Users
%LOCALAPPDATA%

Press Enter to open the folder. Press Shift+Enter to browse it inside Wox, then use the same shortcut to enter subfolders. On a file result, Shift+Enter browses its containing folder. The shortcut also works for favorites. The Action Panel provides these actions, opening the containing directory in the file manager, running a Shell command here, and toggling hidden files.

Favorites

Open Settings -> Plugins -> Folder to save named favorite paths. Favorites are per operating system.
