There is a brand new way to set shortcuts for your favourite commands and apps and you can do it all without ever leaving Root Search! The existing “Configure Command” action is now a submenu which exposes further actions that let you set an alias or a hotkey directly from the Action Panel.

Open Raycast and find the app or command you want to configure. Then press Ctrl K to open the Action Panel and search for the “Configure Application/Command…” action. From there, you can set your desired alias or hotkey. Next time you can simply press Ctrl Shift , to set your shortcuts even faster.
