# ShowLauncherArgs

*Since: 20220319-142410-0fcdea07*

Activate the [Launcher Menu](../../launch.md#the-launcher-menu)
in the current tab, scoping it to a set of items and with an optional title.

The arguments are a lua table with the following keys:

* `flags` - required; the set of flags that specifies what to show in the launcher
* `title` - optional; the title to show in the tab while the launcher is active

The possible flags are listed below. You must explicitly list each item that you
want to include in the launcher. If you only specify `"FUZZY"` then you will see
an empty launcher:

* `"FUZZY"` - activate in fuzzy-only mode. By default the launcher will allow
  using the number keys to select from the first few items, as well as *vi* movement
  keys to select items. Pressing `/` will enter fuzzy filtering mode, allowing you
  to type a search term and reduce the set of matches.
  When you use the `"FUZZY"` flag, the launcher activates directly in fuzzy filtering
  mode.
* `"TABS"` - include the list of tabs from the current window
* `"LAUNCH_MENU_ITEMS"` - include the [launch_menu](../config/launch_menu.md) items
* `"DOMAINS"` - include multiplexing domains
* `"KEY_ASSIGNMENTS"` - include items taken from your key assignments
* `"WORKSPACES"` - include workspaces

The flags can be joined together using a `|` character, so `"TABS|DOMAINS"` is
an example of a set of flags that will include both tabs and domains in the
list.

This example shows how to make `ALT-9` activate the launcher directly in fuzzy
matching mode, and have it show only tabs:

```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

return {
  keys = {
    {
      key = '9',
      mods = 'ALT',
      action = wezterm.action.ShowLauncherArgs { flags = 'FUZZY|TABS' },
    },
  },
}
```
