How can I set up working dir with ShellCommand? Zero information on the plugin page.

Is it not even implemented?

Try:

[
  {
    "keys": ["ctrl+enter"],
    "command": "shell_command",
    "args": {
      "command": "cd /your/absolute/path/;ls -al",
    }
  }
]

There is some pretty complex logic in the package that determines the working dir of the launched process and the only thing you can provide via command arguments is the root_dir parameter.

# Get the selection:
#
selection = view.sel()


# If there is no selection then optionally use the entire buffer:
#
if can_select_entire_buffer is True:
    if len(selection) == 1 and selection[0].empty():
        selection = [sublime.Region(0, view.size())]


if selection is not None:


    # For each region in the selection, either use it directly,
    # or expand it to take in the 'word' that the cursor is on:
    #
    for region in selection:
        if region.empty():
            region = view.expand_by_class(
                region,
                sublime.CLASS_WORD_START | sublime.CLASS_WORD_END,
