[Docs][Run] List plugin secrets

[htcfreek]

We should have an overview on all plugin "secrets".

Examples:

• Program plugin: How to start apps with parameters. (Don't found the issue.)
  • cmd.exe -- /c ...
  • cmd.exe -c ...
  • cmd.exe /c ...
  • cmd.exe --c ...
  • Note: All formats of parameter can used with program name too. Like this: Command Prompt -c ...
• Unit Converter: Available formats.
• Calculator: Available functions (see Update docs for calculator plugin supported operations to include % #11834).
• WindowsSettings:
  • $Device: shows all settings in all areas with device in the area name.
  • $control>system>admin for filtering by settings path. The example shows all settings under "Control Panel>System and Security>Administrative Tools".
• Search plugin: Filter options

Having some interactive help directly from the run would be even better!

@martinchrzan
I agree to you. But in a first step docs is an easy and fast solution.

[martinchrzan]

Yep, but if we have help mandatory through interfaces for plugins, there would be no need for docs and keeping it up to date and we would force every plugin to provide its own "documentation" that can be then exposed in UI

Maybe we can combine it with #11591 that clicking on an entry of the list or an context menu button shows the help.

Any plans to add this to docs?

[crutkas]

@htcfreek if you feel this is needed and feel up to it, you can do a PR against the docs.

Can we create a sub page for plugin details?

[htcfreek]

This is done for 0.57.0 and can be marked as 'fix-committed'.

[htcfreek]

for listing the quantity types of unit converter I open a new issue.

TYPES:
- QuantityType.Acceleration, 
- QuantityType.Angle, 
- QuantityType.Area,
- QuantityType.Duration,
- QuantityType.Energy, 
- QuantityType.Information, 
- QuantityType.Length,
- QuantityType.Mass, 
- QuantityType.Power, 
- QuantityType.Pressure, 
- QuantityType.Speed, 
- QuantityType.Temperature, 
- QuantityType.Volume,

This is fixed with 0.57.0.
