cool extension

Hi @dannymout 👋

Thanks for taking the time to contribute! 🔥

Did you try out the other extensions (and built-in ways in Raycast to do this) before making this extension?

There is an extension called Kill Process which might most of the day do the same but also lists processes.

It's also possible directly from root search

Or from Switch Windows

Let me know what you think 🙂

Definitely valid points, but the pain for me is that these other methods/extensions all require additional keystrokes.

In Kill Process when I search for an app name, I'll often get a list of like 10 other helper processes, especially for Electron based apps, and the app I'm actually trying to quit is all the way down the list.

Same with root search and switch windows. I have to open the action list, and then go all the way to the bottom to access force quit.

To me this warranted having a dedicated command, where I can just type the first few letters of the app and hit enter.

I think that's a good reason @dannymout 🔥 Do you think you can add a file icon, as it's done with this one?

That would make it even more nice 🔥
