Raycast on Windows now supports Script Commands!

They allow you to run your frequently used scripts in a few keystrokes, or bind them to a shortcut.

Script Commands let you bring your own automation into Raycast by writing simple scripts in any language you prefer — whether it's C#, Bash, Powershell, Python, Node.js, or others. Define a title, description, and other metadata at the top of your script file, and Raycast turns it into a fully searchable command, just like a built-in one.

Quickly create a new script with Create Script Command or import existing scripts by adding a Script Directory from Settings. You can learn more about the metadata format in our repo.

You can now index network and removable volumes for File Search.

Simply add them to the Search Scope in File Search Settings, and they will be automatically indexed. You can toggle deleting files in these volumes from the index when the volumes are disconnected via the “Keep Files from Removed Volumes” setting.

When indexing, local and non-removable volumes are indexed first, followed by network volumes and finally by removable volumes.

This enables extending File Search for cloud storage services that expose storage as a network mount, like Filen.io.

• File Search: Allow indexing of removable and network drives
