# Custom Script Shortcuts
It is possible to create custom shortcuts in the optional `[scripts]` section of your Pipfile.
You can then run `pipenv run <shortcut name>` in your terminal to run the command in the
context of your pipenv virtual environment even if you have not activated the pipenv shell first.
For example, in your Pipfile:
```{code-block}
[scripts]
printspam = "python -c \"print('I am a silly example, no one would need to do this')\""
---
toml
```
And then in your terminal:
$ pipenv run printspam
I am a silly example, no one would need to do this
Commands that expect arguments will also work.
```{code-block}
[scripts]
echospam = "echo I am really a very silly example"
---
toml
```
Invoke script:
$ pipenv run echospam "indeed"
I am really a very silly example indeed
You can also specify pacakge functions as callables such as: `<pathed.module>:<func>`. These can also take arguments.
For example:
[scripts]
my_func_with_args = {call = "package.module:func('arg1', 'arg2')"}
my_func_no_args = {call = "package.module:func()"}
To run the script:
$ pipenv run my_func_with_args
$ pipenv run my_func_no_args
You can display the names and commands of your shortcuts by running `pipenv scripts` in your terminal.
$ pipenv scripts
command script
echospam echo I am really a very silly example
