One of the main things I use Raycast for is its built-in clipboard history extension. It's super handy when I've copied a Git SHA or a URL or a bit of text several copies ago and I want to be able to refer back to it. It keeps 7 days of clipboard history by default, so anything that I remember copying is going to be there.
To get there, I have to trigger Raycast, which I usually open via Alfred (I know, 😅). Then I search for Clipboard History (or find it under recent suggestions).
Raycast supports arbitrary hotkey bindings for triggering different extensions
and their features. So I can get to the Clipboard History in a single step --
e.g. with Ctrl+Shift+V
.
From Raycast Settings, go to the Extensions tab. Find Clipboard History
in the list and then click the Record Hotkey input for it. I then type
Ctrl+Shift+V
and I'm all set.
