  • I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If no executable is selected, it probably should be allowed to run as a direct shell command (althought it might be wise to show a notify-send or platform agnostic non-dialog notification) for an empty executable.

Describe the solution you'd like

Go to Executable type notify-send "TEST" or some other command press button it runs on the system as a direct command

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Examine the ExecuteField class and its interaction with the executable selection and command execution logic. Look for where the executable path is validated and how the command is run. Consider adding a check for empty executable and fallback to direct shell execution.
