Hotkeys
Since Raycast introduced the Hyper Key , I've become a big fan and heavy user of this additional productivity layer.
Hyper ✦ means all modifier keys ( ⌘⌥⌃⇧ ) are triggered simultaneously with a single key, usually Caps Lock.
Here is an overview of the hotkeys I have defined and use across multiple devices for my daily workflow.
