I just had this thought when I wanted to run "subl.exe -n", like I always do using TaskBar's search input.

I was thinking of either copying the behavior of TaskBar search input, or specifying arguments in a fashion similar to devdocs.io's searchbar mechanism: type a category and press tab to lock-in this category, then type additional terms. In PT Run, it would be: type the name of cmd-line executable, press tab to lock into it, then type the arguments.

Example of devdocs' search input:

  1. Type "css"

2. Pressing tab locks into "css", makes it appear as a label within the input.

3. Type additional terms to refine the search within the "css" documentation.
