Pedro, you have the most soothing voice and demeanor! Love these videos, and love Raycast!
This is a really awesome feature and thank you so much for the video. Just a suggestion, I think that the lighting looks a little harsh, at least in this video compared to prior videos. But outside of that, I really appreciate the tutorial. It's really helpful for those trying to really get the most out of it.
Bruno here: sometimes we struggle in the fight against Pedro’s big window 😄 But thanks for pointing it out
Can we manage “spaces” or virtual spaces?
Spaces are a little bit tricky, so they’re not currently supported. Multiple monitors are, though
That’s what I need. Window management is good enough already
Can't wait for window tiling or some kind of automatic window arrangement without having to create your own layout. Similar to how Amethyst does it.
How about window and workspaces navigation throw different workspaces like in Linux window managers like hyperland, you could navigate to different work spaces by window key and the number of workspace for example win + 1 go to work space one and so on
I've been loving this new feature! The only issue I've noticed is that when I select a browser application in the window management, it ends up opening in my existing browser window. It would be great if there was a way to specify whether I want a new browser window or not.
It would be great to deal with spaces or we can say virtual desktops.
It would be great if we could have these 2 options when creating a Window Layout Command:
- Control the stacking layer of the windows. For example, If I stack windows of same size above one another, I can't select back the ones below.
- Add an option to control every other open windows (excluding the apps I manually positioned). This way, I could set for example my dev workflow on one monitor, and any other apps on the other monitor. Another use would be when sharing a screen, I could easily set aside any apps and only display the relevant ones (especially useful when you can't share on your external monitor because of its unusual aspect ratio (ultra-wide monitors).
I second the idea for being able to control the stack order of windows
Looks incredibly powerful! Amazing tool!
I am missing the ability to focus "navigate between apps", is this possible?
Love this. Thanks for showing how to use this.
Only with Raycast set of tools I realized how much my thought is faster than my machine.
It’s all about trying to bridge that gap!
I don't seem to be able to have 2 instances of the Chrome browser setup for a custom layout. Am I missing something?
Feature Suggestion - Regex support in Clipboard History and regular de-duplication of copied text/file
How exactly would you use that to the most benefit? Thanks.
@@chezchezchezchez Being able to find things which I might that exactly remember.
And de-duplication for being able to optimise for space as well as reduce clutter in the clipboard history
Excellent tutorial again 🎊
However i cannot use this functionality yet.
I would need support for virtual desktops along with the multiple monitors😓
Sadly, macOS spaces are a little tricky to deal with. I’ll pass that onto the team, though! It’s been requested more than once.
@@raycastapp Hopefully the technical difficulties get sorted out 😅 i would need this functionality all the time. BetterTouchTool helps a bit but not exactly the way i need.
@@raycastapp +1 for spaces, I currently use BTT to fill that gap
Like the feature to map to other app short keys for muscle memory! I can finally uninstall magnet
Would be great if raycast could take the current size and position from an app in custom window layout. So I can arrange everything and create the custom layout afterwards with the need of positioning / framing / aligning again. Thanks ❤
Great! But unfortunately, it does not support full screen windows with split view. It also works quite poorly when using stage manager. For "create window layout command" feature. Thanks.
Speaking of windows, when will the Raycast be available on Windows? 😅
No
What about dual monitor window layouts? Can we have a layout for monitor one and a different one on monitor two for the same layout command?
Yes! If you have two or more monitors connected, you should see them as an option in the Create Layout command
@@raycastapp Arc seems to open a new floating window, is there a way to prevent that? :D
Nice update. For the Window Layout feature, do you need to disable Stage Manager first? I'm trying to use it but Stage Manager is fighting for control as the windows are launched.
Hello! Did you happen to find out? I’d like to know also, thank you!
there’s a setting in window management regarding stage manager, it’s a toggle you turn on or off. does messing with that make it work for you? otherwise, give me an update and i can talk to the team
love it!
I love raycast. Will the current fuctions of raycast be free forever. I am debating betwen alfreed and raycast. I want raycast, but I am afraid, it will not be free in the future. If that the case I may switch to other one. Thanks.
All of the features that are currently free will continue to be free forever 👊
What about for multiple monitors?
They’re also supported since the last update!
I have tried to get the subscription from two different credit card, none of it worked. I don't know how to subscribe to it.
Can you send an email to feedback@raycast.com? I’m sorry this has happened. The team can help you fix this over there!
@@raycastapp Done. Thank you. Awaiting for a solution.
I was hoping for tilling window management functionality. Sooooo close, yet so far.
