This plugin allows to open a shell window or file manager from the popup menu in the navigation tree or editor view. Additionally it is possible to run selected
file in the shell and copy file or directory path. Multiple selections are also supported. It is possible to assign short keys for Easy Shell functions.

The plugin is platform-independent in principal. It just launches
a (configurable) system command to open the shell. The following
platform and shell combinations are supported as selections
available from the drop-down-list in the preferences page:

Windows:
- DOS-Shell / Explorer
- PowerShell / Explorer (check path of PowerShell executable!)
- Cygwin (Bash) / Explorer (check path of Cygwin-bash executable!)

Unix / Linux:
- KDE Konsole / Konqueror
- Gnome Terminal / Nautilus
- CDE Xterm / Dtfile (not tested!)
- MAC OS X Terminal / Finder (not tested!)

Other:
- Default / Unknown (can be defined for all systems supported by Java)

But you can configure any shell or command you like as long as you
can figure out how to run a command to open the shell with given
parameters. The following substitution variables are available
for building the command:

{2} = The selected file or directory path

{4} = The project name of selected directory or path (for external files it's "Easy Shell")
{5} = The line separator
