The types of Shortcuts available in Raycast are:
- Hotkeys: keyboard combinations that launch the corresponding Application, Quicklink, or Command directly, without the need to open the launcher.
- Aliases: short phrases which let you quickly find items in root search.
🗺️ Where to set shortcuts
Through Raycast Settings (Ctrl , ) you can easily assign shortcuts to all of your:
- Applications
- Built-In Extension Commands
- Third-party Extension Commands
- System Controls
- Quicklinks
You can do so in either:
- The Shortcuts tab, which gives you a bird’s-eye view of all your shortcuts, and lets you filter them by category and modification.
- Each Extension’s dedicated tab, where apart from extension-specific settings, you can access set shortcuts to all associated commands.
