The Figma extension should be helpful to ya. https://www.raycast.com/michaelschultz/figma-files-raycast-extension

Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Honestly I'd just browse the extension store and see what's relevant to you. My most used features are probably clipboard history, unit conversion, killing processes, and automatically getting 2fa codes from messages. Used to use the linear/figma extensions a bit but not so much anymore.

i am pretty unnuanced but i just use it with practically no extensions

- I don't have a lot of extensions, but I use one called link cleaner that takes all the tracking crap off any URL on the clipboard

- Window management is awesome. Check out your favorite window positions and assign keyboard shortcuts to them.
- You can also search menu items of any open app to get to commands quickly (kinda like command-k in Figma)

give @ped.ro a follow and check out the Raycast YouTube channel, it's phenomenal. My favorite tool of 2024!

Thanks Joey!

Agree the YouTube channel is a good starting place!

I'd suggest to start slow as well. Raycast can a lot, and you can discover things as you need.

Aside from the basic stuff that Spotlight also does, like launching apps, calculation, etc. I recommend
- Clipboard History
- Window Management
- Quicklinks
- AI Chat/Quick AI
- Emoji picker
