Favorite feature

It’s got to be Window Management, app hotkeys, and Clipboard History. Entire Mac apps are dedicated to these features, while Raycast gives a simple, polished experience out of the box.

Most used Commands, Quicklinks, Scripts and Snippets

I use tons of Snippets to save time typing out the same stuff. I give commonly used symbol characters a shortcut, for example !!cmd becomes ⌘.

I use Snippet keywords to automatically expand my writing with the piece of code I need, including:

• Next.js helpers like scaffolding _app and _document
• JavaScript util functions like randomBetween and sleep
• CSS partials like flexRow, flexColumn, and cssReset
• React helpers like tsComp, importReact, and styledComp

Top extensions from the Store

• Lorem Ipsum
• Base64 encode/decode
• 8 Ball
• Radix
• Kill Process
• Spotify Controls

Aliases, hotkeys, and fallback searches

Every app I use daily has a hotkey to make things quicker and smoother. I’m constantly jumping between my browser ⌘⇧ + \, Slack ⌘⇧ + S, Linear ⌘⇧ + L, VS Code ⌘⇧ + enter, and Terminal ⌘⇧+. Hotkeys are a big time saver!

Every quarter, third and half-size Window Management also has a hotkey (⌘⌥⌃ + arrow keys and jkl;').

Anything else

Raycast is the first app I install on every computer I use! It’s designed and destined for macOS, and its speed and capability are a daily joy at work.
