Wrap Unwrap

Reflow text to or from wrapped form, with Markdown awareness. Two no-view commands you can hotkey-bind:

• Wrap Text — wrap the selected text (or clipboard text) at a configurable column width.
• Unwrap Text — reflow wrapped text into continuous paragraphs, preserving Markdown structure (code fences, lists, blockquotes, tables, links, hyphenation).

The classifier recognizes paragraphs, ATX and setext headings, fenced and indented code, blockquotes (with nesting), bullet/ordered/task lists, pipe tables, HTML blocks, reference link definitions, and hard breaks. Unwrap groups by blockquote prefix and inner role, so > - item reflows as a list item under a quote without losing structure.

Commands

Command	Description
Wrap Text	Wrap text at a configurable column width.
Unwrap Text	Reflow wrapped text into continuous paragraphs while preserving Markdown structure.

Preferences

Both commands share Preferred Source, Primary Action, Hide HUD, and Pop to Root After Action:

Preference	Default	What it does
Preferred Source	Selected Text	Try the selection first; fall back to the clipboard if none. Choose Clipboard to flip the priority.
Primary Action	Paste	Paste the result into the focused app. Choose Copy to put the result on the clipboard instead.
Hide HUD	off	Suppress the success HUD ("Pasted wrapped text" / "Copied unwrapped text").
Pop to Root After Action	off	Return to Raycast root after the action completes. (No-op when launched via hotkey.)

Wrap Text also has:

Preference	Default	What it does
Wrap Column	80	The column at which lines are wrapped. The wrap budget is the full line including blockquote and list-item prefixes. Width values below 20 are clamped to 20.

Unwrap Text also has:

Preference	Default	What it does
Strip Soft Hyphens	on	When joining lines, remove a trailing soft hyphen (U+00AD) — the invisible character that marks an optional break. A regular - is always kept, so well- + known rejoins as well-known and state-of-the-art stays intact; either way the halves join with no space.
Keep Blank Lines	off	Preserve blank lines between paragraphs instead of collapsing runs.
Strip Bullet Indentation	off	Re-indent bullet and numbered lists to a fixed 2-space-per-level step, removing the leading spaces that pasted terminal or rich-text content adds in front of markers. Nesting depth is preserved by relative indent order, so pasting into an email client produces native bullets. Recognizes Unicode bullets (•, ‣, ▪, ▸, –, —) too.

Suggested hotkeys

Bind these in Raycast → Extensions → Wrap Unwrap. Suggestions:

• Wrap Text → ⌃⌥W
• Unwrap Text → ⌃⌥U

For other extensions

Wrap Unwrap implements the LitoMore cross-extension convention on the provider side using only built-in Raycast SDK primitives. Pass a launchContext with the text and an optional callbackLaunchOptions describing where to send the result:

import { launchCommand, LaunchType } from "@raycast/api";

await launchCommand({
  name: "unwrap-text",
  type: LaunchType.UserInitiated,
  extensionName: "wrap-unwrap",
  ownerOrAuthorName: "chrismessina",
  context: {
    text: "Some\nwrapped\ntext\nto reflow",
    hyphenation: true,
    callbackLaunchOptions: {
      name: "your-callback-command",
      type: LaunchType.Background,
      extensionName: "your-extension",
      ownerOrAuthorName: "you",
    },
  },
});

The provider invokes your callback command with context: { result: "..." } containing the transformed text. When callbackLaunchOptions is present, the provider does not paste, copy, or show a HUD — it just hands the result back.

UnwrapContext accepts text, hyphenation, keepBlankLines, flattenBullets, and callbackLaunchOptions. WrapContext accepts text, width, and callbackLaunchOptions.

The Preferred Source / Primary Action preference pattern follows the popular Change Case extension's convention.
