Using Command Line

While Application URL's are normally used via web browsers you can also trigger them via the command line with a few quirks.

Most notably you'll need to manually escape some characters to have the terminal properly parse it.

Running the Commands

To run a URL via command line you'll need to use the start command.

start signalrgb://view/logs

Escaping Spaces

For any commands that contain a space, it must be replaced by %20 . Using quotes will have no effect.

start signalrgb://effect/apply/Rainbow Rise will apply the Rainbow effect instead of Rainbow Rise so you'll need to use start signalrgb://effect/apply/Rainbow%20Rise instead.

Command line uses the & character to run multiple commands together, so we'll need to escape all of them with ^ to prevent command line from trying to split our URL into pieces. start signalrgb://effect/apply/Rainbow?rainbow_mode=SignalRGB&speed=1&vertical=false should become

start signalrgb://effect/apply/Rainbow?rainbow_mode=SignalRGB^&speed=1^&vertical=false
