-===== Features ===== 
- 
-. The Verve plugin supports several nice features, such as: 
- 
-  * Opens URLs, e-mail addresses, directories, and programs 
-  * Command history 
-  * Auto-completion (including command history) 
-  * Focus grabbing via D-BUS (so you can bind a shortcut to it) 
-  * Custom input field width 
- 
-New features in version 1.1.0: 
- 
-  * Ability to use the verve plugin to run smart bookmarks instead of commands 
-  * Support for tilde and variable expansion in directory paths 
-  * Support for running "normal" commands through your default shell (to expand variables and aliases) 
-  * Ability to direct command beginning with ! or \ to [[https://duckduckgo.com|DuckDuckGo]] 
-  * Optional label (screenshot below) 
- 
----- 
- 
-===== Usage ===== 
- 
-Once added to the panel, you can use the following keys to control Verve: 
- 
-  * **''TAB''** to iterate through auto-completion entries 
-  * **''UP''** and **''DOWN''** arrows to iterate through the command history 
-  * **''CTRL+ENTER''** to run a command in a terminal emulator 
-  * **''ESC''** to clear your input 
- 
-If you want to launch URLs or eMail addresses using Verve, just paste them into the input field and press **''ENTER''**. 
- 
----- 
- 
-==== Focus Grabbing ==== 
- 
-Verve installs a script named ''verve-focus'' which can be used to bind a keyboard shorcut for Verve to grab the focus. To do so, you first need to open the Xfce settings manager: 
- 
-  xfce-setting-show 
- 
-Once the dialog has appeared, chose **Keyboard**. In the next dialog, select the **Shortcuts** tab and add a shortcut for ''verve-focus''. 
- 
-After this, Verve should grab the focus and start blinking whenever you press this shortcut. To stop the blinking, just type something (like a command or something else) or click on it with the mouse.
