One note at the top: GeoCommand is one of the "roots" for the GeoCommandTime plugin. The further development for GeoCommand stopped after the raise of the "combi plugin", so some of the command related features of GeoCommandTime may be unavailable for GeoCommand and vice versa.
The GeoCommand plugin provides an edit box into which you can type commands. You can also use the arrow keys to scroll through the a comand history or use drag and drop to drop in the text for a new command.

The font string must be in the format "font,size", where font is valid font name as displayed in the Font Control Panel.
For example, to display bold, 14 point text in the Tahoma font you would set the font value to: Tahoma Bold,14
The icons will appear on the bar, in numbered order.
Aliases
You can define your own aliases for each instance of geOCommand.
To set up new aliases, use GeoCommand's build in function _AliasAdd.
The syntax is very easy. _AliasAdd is followed by the name of the alias, separated with a space and the command to execute, which is separated from the name by a comma. e.g.
_AliasAdd winamp,C:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe
This would add an alias with the name winamp, which would execute winamp.exe. The path can contain spaces and parameters will be executed without adding quotes.
To delete this alias type:
_AliasDelete winamp
Hotkeys
ctrl+alt+C
Switch Focus to GeoCommand
