This section is preserved across syncs. --> ## Conversation ### User User: can you look in my vault and see if you can find a back up of my raycast scripts. you will know you find them bevause there will be acript for inserting quotation marks around a word on the clipboad/pasted word. i am ppretty sure they are there somewhere, so donb't stop til you find them Assistant: I'll search your vault for Raycast scripts. Let me look for them using a few different approaches. [Thinking: 1 block(s), 1.0s total] [Tool Grep input: pattern=raycast, -i=true status=completed] [Tool Grep input: pattern=quotation.*mark|quote.*clipboard, -i=true status=completed] [Tool Glob input: pattern=**/*raycast* status=completed] User: you got cut off, please continue from where you left off. ### Assistant Let me continue searching with different approaches - looking for script-related content and clipboard operations. ### Assistant Let me search more specifically for backup content and look for code blocks that might contain scripts: ### Assistant I found a lead! There's a `_Legacy/Personal/Backups/` folder that appears to contain Raycast content. Let me explore that: ### Assistant Found some Raycast files! Let me read them and continue searching for the script content: ### Assistant Those weren't the script files. Let me search more specifically for code blocks with quotation/quote operations: ### Assistant Let me search with more specific terms and look for code blocks containing script patterns: ### Assistant Let me try different search terms focused on text manipulation and typographic/curly quotes: ### Assistant Let me try reading some of the promising files I found and search for snippet content: ### Assistant Let me try a broader search approach - looking for actual code blocks or script content: ### Assistant The agent found something important. Let me verify and check for any remaining traces: ### Assistant I found the answer, and unfortunately it's not great news: **The Raycast scripts were deleted during a vault cleanup on January 20, 2026.** Here's what I found: 1. **The folder exists but is empty:** - `_Legacy/Archive/Pre-Sep-2025/scripts for raycast/` — completely empty 2. **Daily note confirms deletion:** From [[Daily Notes/2026-01-20]]: > "20:22 - Major vault cleanup: windsurf (406MB), **Raycast backups (750MB)**, Smart Connections cache. _Legacy/ reduced from 1.1GB to 292MB." 3. **What remains:** - [[_Legacy/Archive/Pre-Sep-2025/Raycast Plans.md]] — just info about Raycast Pro features - [[_Legacy/Personal/Backups/raycast anthropic api key september 2025.md]] — only an API key The 750MB of Raycast backups that contained your scripts were removed during that cleanup session just 3 days ago. **Possible recovery options:** - Check if you have Time Machine backups from before Jan 20 - Check if the scripts might be in your actual Raycast app's script directory (`~/.local/share/raycast/scripts/` or similar) - Check any cloud backup services you use Would you like me to help you look for the scripts in Raycast's actual installation directory outside the vault? ### User please increase your search area. they might not be in the vault ### Assistant Let me search outside the vault for Raycast scripts: ### Assistant Let me try without redirects: ### Assistant Excellent! Found multiple backup locations on Google Drive! Let me check them: ### Assistant **Found them!** Your scripts are backed up in Google Drive. Let me read them: ### Assistant **Found your Raycast scripts!** 🎉 They're backed up in Google Drive at: ``` /Users/nickyoung/Library/CloudStorage/[email protected]/My Drive/Backups, Presets etc. /raycast scripts/ ``` **Here's what's there:** ### 1. `quote.sh` (the one you were looking for!) Wraps clipboard text in quotation marks and auto-pastes: ```bash #!/bin/bash # @raycast.title quote # @raycast.mode silent # @raycast.description puts quotes around pasted text and then pastes it automatically text="$(pbpaste)" if [[ "$text" != \"* ]] && [[ "$text" != *\" ]]; then quotedText="\"$text\"" else quotedText="$text" fi echo -n "$quotedText" | pbcopy osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down' ``` ### 2. `quote-1.sh` Identical to quote.sh (probably a backup copy) ### 3. `tabber.sh` Opens Deepseek chat in Arc browser (misnamed - it's actually a Deepseek launcher) --- Would you like me to copy these scripts somewhere more accessible, like to Raycast's script commands directory so you can use them again? ### User just the first one please. that's the one i really miss ### Assistant Raycast script commands use a folder you specify in Raycast settings. Let me copy it to a convenient location: ### Assistant Done! Copied to `~/scripts/raycast/quote.sh` **To enable it in Raycast:** 1. Open Raycast → Settings (⌘ ,) 2. Go to **Extensions** → **Script Commands** 3. Click **Add Directories** and select `/Users/nickyoung/scripts/raycast` The "quote" command will then appear when you search in Raycast. Copy text → trigger "quote" → it wraps in quotes and pastes automatically. ### User the quote one ### Assistant Already done! ✓ The quote script is at: ``` ~/scripts/raycast/quote.sh ``` Just add that folder (`/Users/nickyoung/scripts/raycast`) in Raycast's Script Commands settings and you're good to go.
