# SpawnCommand
The `SpawnCommand` struct specifies information about a new command
to be spawned.
It is a lua object with the following fields; all of the fields
have reasonable defaults and can be omitted.
```lua
{
-- An optional label.
-- The label is only used for SpawnCommands that are listed in
-- the `launch_menu` configuration section.
-- If the label is omitted, a default will be produced based
-- on the `args` field.
label = "List all the files!",
-- The argument array specifying the command and its arguments.
-- If omitted, the default program for the target domain will be
-- spawned.
args = {"ls", "-al"},
-- The current working directory to set for the command.
-- If omitted, wezterm will infer a value based on the active pane
-- at the time this action is triggered. If the active pane
-- matches the domain specified in this `SpawnCommand` instance
-- then the current working directory of the active pane will be
-- used.
-- If the current working directory cannot be inferred then it
-- will typically fall back to using the home directory of
-- the current user.
cwd = "/some/path",
-- Sets addditional environment variables in the environment for
-- this command invocation.
set_environment_variables = {
SOMETHING = "a value"
},
-- Specifiy that the multiplexer domain of the currently active pane
-- should be used to start this process. This is usually what you
-- want to happen and this is the default behavior if you omit
-- the domain.
domain = "CurrentPaneDomain",
-- Specify that the default multiplexer domain be used for this
-- command invocation. The default domain is typically the "local"
-- domain, which spawns processes locally. However, if you started
-- wezterm using `wezterm connect` or `wezterm serial` then the default
-- domain will not be "local".
domain = "DefaultDomain",
-- Specify a named multiplexer domain that should be used to spawn
-- this new command.
-- This is useful if you want to assign a hotkey to always start
-- a process in a remote multiplexer rather than based on the
-- current pane.
-- See the Multiplexing section of the docs for more on this topic.
domain = {DomainName="my.server"},
}
