Default option disables camera
cameraId === "default" is currently mapped to null, but the deeplink contract/docs use null to disable the camera. This makes “System Default” behave the same as “No Camera”. Consider either removing the “System Default” option or mapping it to an explicit identifier that Cap treats as default (so null remains reserved for disable). Also affects microphone switching.
Also appears in: extensions/raycast/cap/src/switch-microphone.tsx (default -> null mapping).

CaptureMode in the Tauri deeplink code is #[serde(rename_all = "snake_case")], so the JSON for capture_mode should use screen/window keys (not Screen/Window), otherwise start_recording won’t deserialize.

Minor but important: the capture_mode enum is deserialized with snake_case, so the docs should show screen/window keys (otherwise copy/paste examples won’t work).

assets/ only contains cap-icon.png, but the commands reference record-icon.png, stop-icon.png, etc. Raycast will fail to load missing icons. Quick fix is to point them all at cap-icon.png until the specific icons are added.

Right now default and none both send mic_label: null, so “System Default” ends up disabling the mic (same as “No Microphone”). Also, repo guidelines disallow code comments.

Same thing for camera: default and none both send camera: null, so “System Default” disables the camera. Also removes the inline comments per repo guidelines.

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This PR extends the desktop app’s deeplink action set (pause/resume/toggle pause, switch mic/camera) and adds a new Raycast extension under
extensions/raycast/capwith commands that generate/opencap-desktop://action?value=<json>URLs. It also adds deeplink API documentation underapps/desktop/docs/DEEPLINKS.mdto describe the available actions and parameters.Key integration point: Raycast commands build JSON payloads matching
apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/deeplink_actions.rs’sDeepLinkActionenum (snake_caseserde) and open them via Raycast’sopen()API, letting the desktop app parse and execute actions asynchronously.Confidence Score: 3/5
nullwhich disables mic/camera, and inline//comments violate the repository’s no-comments rule. Fixing these should make the change low-risk.Important Files Changed
