Description

Hey there,

I wanted to let you know that I'm a big fan of your extension. The ability to create custom command lists has made my work across different software applications so much faster.

I have a few ideas that I believe could make it even better:

Removable Pre-configured Commands: The ability to remove the pre-configured commands.

Advanced Sorting: An improved sorting function would be a great addition. For example, it would be useful to first group commands by application and then sort them alphabetically (A-Z) within each group.

Visual Categorization: The option to add icons, symbols, or color-coding to help categorize commands visually.

Thank you for creating and sharing such a useful extension with the Raycast community.

Best regards,
Tam

That's great to hear that you find the extension useful.

Unfortunately, I am limited in my capacity right now in terms of improving the extension but I am always open for someone to take over to improve the extension.
A few comments on each improvement point:

Visual Categorization: The option to add icons, symbols, or color-coding to help categorize commands visually.

Not sure if the Raycast platform gives capabilities for color coding. Emojis can be easily added into the name as a workaround

Advanced Sorting: An improved sorting function would be a great addition. For example, it would be useful to first group commands by application and then sort them alphabetically (A-Z) within each group.

How do you find the default sorting? It is supposed to sort up the most relevant command based on the currently opened application/website.
Grouping/sort alphabetically alongside default sorting makes sense for improved management of commands especially when there are many.

Removable Pre-configured Commands: The ability to remove the pre-configured commands.

[that's the culprit]
(

extensions/extensions/universal-commands/src/manage-custom-commands.tsx

Line 61 in d480d47

const storedData = [applicationShortcutRaiseHandForMeet, applicationShortcutRecordToggleMute, ...allCommands];

) , default commands are restored on every "list custom command"
not sure how to implement this, ideally those default commands should be set there once when extension is installed
