While your PowerToys workspaces can be set up and customized to open multiple apps with a single click, you can have more control over the exact state of the app launch using CLI arguments. These Command Line Interface arguments allow you to open apps to a specific file, use terminal commands to perform a function, or open specific websites in a browser. Here's how to accomplish all of this using workspaces.

As Microsoft notes, each app “has its own set of command-line arguments that can be used to change startup behavior, but many apps use similar patterns.”

So, depending on the app, you may need to use different arguments to achieve different results. Here are a few things you can do by adding CLI arguments to apps in PowerToys workspaces.

You can also enter commands into your terminal app so that they will be executed as soon as the workspace opens. As before, simply enter your command into the "CLI Arguments" field.
