Remap F4 to Raycast, Alfred (cmd + space)

2 min read

On Mac keyboard, there is F4 key which opens Spotlight1 by default. I use Raycast2 a lot instead of Spotlight and wanted to remap F4 to Raycast.

There is an app called Karabiner-Elements3 which can be used to remap keys. After the app is installed, we can use this rule4 called Map F4 to cmd+space.

You can import the rule from the above URL directly. Once the rule is imported & enabled, F4 will be remapped to cmd + space as shown in the video below.
