script-commands VS Visual Studio Code

Sure! Again, I use Raycast, along with it's Raycast AI[2] feature and it's snippets feature. And then for a bunch of other stuff, I have Raycast script commands[4] (mostly specially-formatted shell + Python scripts) that do API gluing to internal apps, such as our help desk and MDM systems, as well as Linux servers via SSH.

For help desk tickets, I have a script that pulls new tickets, reads in the information for each ticket, determines a likely response/resolution/followup questions ("I see you did not include an (asset tag|screenshot) with your ticket. Could you please add that?", "It looks like this knowledge base article might help. ").

I also use the Raycast AI commands "Improve Writing" and "Summarize" several times a day on emails, documentation, tickets, etc. Essentially, I select text in any window, hit a keyboard shortcut to launch that action and it quickly performs the action on the selected text. Super quick.

My goal is to automate anything I do >= once per day.

My tier 1 is Raycast here, but I had much of this on Alfred (what I used prior), much of this with formerly Albert and now ulauncher on my Linux box, and with the launcher that comes with Power Toys on Windows.

A script can take up to 3 arguments. (see https://github.com/raycast/script-commands/blob/master/documentation/ARGUMENTS.md)

I only know the official one at https://github.com/raycast/script-commands

It is possible, although not that smooth. You have to add this script to your command scripts in Raycast. Then you can assign > as a shortcut and you'll be able to do what you want. The only difference is that you need to type >, then space, then command.

there's this script: https://github.com/raycast/script-commands/blob/master/commands/developer-utils/create-image-from-code.sh

There's just one thing I can not do: write an email to a contact. In Alfred I could write e.g. "email tom" and it will auto suggest people from my contacts and it would open a new email to the selected contact. Is there something similar in Raycast? All I could find is an email script command (https://github.com/raycast/script-commands/blob/master/commands/system/new-email.sh) that opens a new email window, but it's not possible to select a contact, you have to enter the email address.

To add it to Raycast follow instructions detailed here: raycast/script-commands:.

Not sure if I'm missing something. The title says the app is open source, but checking GitHub, I see extensions and script-commands, and I don't think the "main" repo is there

Visual Studio Code (VS Code): Developed by Microsoft, VS Code is a lightweight yet powerful IDE with extensive support for Python development through extensions. It offers features like IntelliSense, debugging, and built-in Git integration.

In VSCode for example this can be easily done by adding the following .vscode/launch.json file:

I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10643

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), always create a new Python file for your project.

Code Editor: Choose a code editor like Visual Studio Code that offers good support for web technologies and extensions for PWA development.

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), create a new Python file for our music player project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.

27,000 people seem to have done so.

Choosing IDE: Selecting a suitable Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is crucial for efficient coding. Consider popular options such as PyCharm, Visual Studio Code, or Jupyter Notebook. Install your preferred IDE and ensure it's configured to work with Python.

I was doing it all wrong, designing and developing on the fly, using the same tool - VScode; Making one step forward and ten back when I mess up with good code while trying to get rid of the bad. I had gotten away with it for three pages, but it had finally caught up with me.
