This is a raycast extension with commands for the note taking and knowledge management app Obsidian. To use it, simply open Raycast Search and type one of the following commands:

This command allows for quick access to all of your notes. It features several actions which you can trigger with these keyboard shortcuts:

  • enter will open the note in "Quick Look"
  • cmd + enter will open the note in Obsidian
  • opt + a will let you append text to the note
  • opt + s will append selected text to the note
  • opt + c will copy the notes content to your clipboard
  • opt + v will paste the notes content to the app you used before raycast
  • opt + l will copy a markdown link for the note to your clipboard
  • opt + u will copy the obsidian URI for the note to your clipboard (see: Obsidian URI)

The primary action (enter) can be changed in the extensions preferences.
