Changelog

The best chats start with the right context. Screen Awareness brings context from your focused app or window into AI Chat or Quick AI, so you don’t have to copy text, attach screenshots, or explain what you’re looking at.

Use the Send Focused Window to AI command, choose Screen Awareness from the @ menu, or simply ask “summarise this” or “reply to this”.

The first time you use the command, a short onboarding guide helps you set a hotkey. Our team likes to double-tap the right Command key.

✨ New

• AI: Send Focused Window to AI command includes richer app and window context
• AI: New Ask Screen Awareness AI Extension to quickly give context to Raycast
• AI: Added compaction and context management support
• Quick AI: “Send Message” AI setting is now respected by Quick AI as well which allows submitting queries on Command Return
• Dictation: Added a way to import your vocabulary and hotkeys from other apps
• Dictation: Added a new “Add Word to Vocabulary” command to add a selected word or entered argument into your vocabulary
• Feedback: New Ask Feedback AI Extension to contact the Raycast team
• Hotkeys: Added support for chords using a modifier held on both sides of the keyboard (e.g. left ⌘ + right ⌘), including recording and display in the hotkey recorder

💎 Improvements

• Core: Text fields now expand your macOS Text Replacements
• Emoji Picker: Added the missing "Copy with Skin Tone…" action
• File Search: File detail previews now show document thumbnails (PDFs, Keynote, Pages, and others)
• File Search: Substantially reduced CPU from filesystem indexing during heavy file activity
• Hotkeys: The recorder now detects and warns about combinations that can't coexist with an existing hotkey, instead of flagging only identical ones (e.g. single-tap ⌘ vs double-tap ⌘⌘)
