Raycast review
When I’m updating a review, I usually need the old page and the folder with my screenshots open at the same time. Raycast’s “Quicklinks” let me give each one a name I can type in the launcher.
Give the working folder a name
Run “Create Quicklink”, paste the path to your project folder in “Link” and name it “Review assets”. Make another Quicklink with the URL of the page you’re editing. Both names show up in Raycast’s main search. I’d turn on “Prefer Existing Tabs” if I kept reopening the same page in Chrome. Raycast can switch to the tab that already has that URL.
In Scrivener, I’d keep research and drafts together in the Binder. The Raycast shortcut gets me to the working folder from wherever I’m editing. I still need to update the shortcut if I move the folder or change the page URL.
Use one shortcut for different searches
If I keep looking up different terms on the same help site, I’d make one Quicklink that asks for the search term. Start with a search URL that already works in your browser. Replace the term in that URL with “{argument name="Query"}”. When you run the Quicklink, type the feature you’re looking up and Raycast puts that text into the URL. Try a two-word term to check that the site still opens the results you expect.
Anabel’s take
I’d make shortcuts for the two places I reopen all week. The folder would get a short name I can remember, and I’d keep the title of the help site in the name of its search shortcut so I know where the query is going.
