Window Magic, Command Line Wizardry
summary
Live demo shows concrete configs and working commands: zsh with oh-my-zsh plus the z (zz) directory jumper for fuzzy cd, custom aliases/functions in .zshrc (example: alias openz + reload, gap → git add -p), Hammerspoon Lua snippets that snap and move windows, and Raycast replacing Spotlight with raycast snippets, clipboard history, quick links and editable snippet placeholders. Edits save and reload in-place, windows move on hotkeys, and snippets paste with the cursor placed inside parentheses.
