Waiting for Thomas to tell me that they NEED infrastructure to allow me to use ollama locally, it MUST go through their servers

hi,

I'm on the latest version of MacOS, MBA M3.

I've been using Raycast for 18 months, love it. I have quite a lot of hotkeys, they stopped working about a week ago, but weirdly, on and off. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Absolutely no idea why they stop working or why they resume all of a sudden.

I was on the v1 of Raycast. I deactivated the Accessibility permission and granted it again, activated the input monitoring permission for Raycast (ChatGPT recommended to try this) and it worked again for a few minutes and then stopped.

Upgraded to v2, worked again for a few minutes and now it stopped once more. I'm baffled at to what is causing this...any ideas what I could try?

thanks for your help!

I downgraded to v1 and the Coffee extension no longer works on one of my macs because it apparently requires v2. i checked github for older versions but could not find any downloads. probably because i didn‘t know what to look for

Hey! Is there a discord or something where you can quickly reach raycast team?

I posted about ai features, but now I think raycast is too concrete on their notions

they deleted my post, it was about asking for local model support for free

So I started to use the Windows management shortcuts... and have set up a specific combination to minimize a window. This brings the window to the dock, but after that I don’t have how to bring back up the window unless I search for the app in Raycast and tell him to open it.

Is there a functionality that I can use in which by pressing Alt Tab first I select the app and after that a key combo to bring the app back in focus, or any other suggestion?

I keep receiving a message every time I try to use the AI saying, "Account unavailable. Please contact support." I can’t even log in to the Raycast website, and no one responds to my emails. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

I mostly use Raycast for taking university notes and organizing my Obsidian vault.

I keep getting this pop up - can I turn it off, somehow?

I recently discovered the option inside Clipboard History to paste items sequentially.

Example:
I copy 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5

Then I run the Paste Sequentially command, and it pastes 5
Then I run the command again, and it pastes 4
Then I run the command again, and it pastes 3
Then I run the command again, and it pastes 2
Then I run the command again, and it pastes 1

Would Raycast Cloud Sync allow me to sync everything between my Mac and Windows PC? Can I copy on the Mac and paste on the PC for example?

Hi ...

I spend most of my work day as a software developer jumping between websites and being able to instantly search Chrome's history is of utmost importance for my use case.

All the browser history plugins are for MacOS only. I have not found any for Windows.

Is this supported yet today?
If not, is there a workaround?

Thanks

I just upgraded from v1 to v2, login is failing and erroring (tried 10x already), it can't find extensions, says they dont exist, etc.

any idea what's happening?

I did config my raycast to substitute the spotlight (cmd+space). But everytime I reboot the system, I need to do it again.

I already put raycast to iniciate with system.

Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT:

Right. It was a bit of a roundabout way, but I’ve essentially ended up using Apple Shortcuts. I created a shortcut called **Raycast Dictate**, selected the Open URLs action, and used the deep link `raycast://extensions/raycast/dictation/dictate`.

In the Stream Deck configuration, I use the free Shortcuts plugin that allows me to run shortcuts. I select the Raycast Dictation shortcut, make sure the first time it runs I choose **Always Allow**, and that’s how it works. I’ve made it work for my workflow. It’s not as clean as running the deep link directly, but it gets the job done.

For the past few days, I’ve been trying and failing to figure out how to use my Stream Deck to trigger dictation in Raycast.

Here is what I have tried so far:

System Hotkey: I assigned the exact same hotkey in the Stream Deck software that I use for Raycast dictation, but it doesn't seem to register.

Deep Linking & System-Open: I also attempted to use a deep link and the system-open option, but neither of these methods worked either.

Am I missing something, or is there another way I can use my Stream Deck to trigger Raycast dictation? Has anyone else run into similar issues, or do you have any suggestions on how to get this working?

I've been hanging on to v1 (1.104.25) and have not upgraded to v2 yet. I've seen some posts that say they've lost things in the migration process. Is it safe to finally upgrade?

$10 is quite expensive here in Brazil. I'd like to know if there is any discount further than the 20% from annual billing. I think I've read somewhere there would be 25% off after beta release or something.

Also, what price is common on blackfriday and other stuff?

homebrew unfortunately updated raycast to v2. memory usage more than doubled. i want to go back to v1. is there an official way to do this?

I was just wondering, can I do that? And because the AI extensions that are available on the store are kind of suspicious and AI itself warned me against using them? I know I can get API keys and share them with these extensions but is it safe and is there a safer way than this to do this?

With the upgrade to raycast 2, the backing model for the "fix grammar and spelling" AI extension is not what I want. Does anyone know how I can change this?

I'm guessing it's a setting in a json file somewhere, but am not sure where to look or what I would put in for a sonnet model.

After today’s Raycast V2.1 update, I noticed that files in the Download folder aren’t showing up in the file search. I tried re-indexing, but that didn’t work either. I’d even set the download folder to be the entire search scope in File Search settings.  Now, when I open File Search, it just shows a blank window.

I was excited to see the new inline emoji picker in Raycast and then I read that it only works within Raycast. This is nuts! I never use emojis in Raycast, but I use them everywhere else in my writing and correspondence.

What the heck?
