Da ich gerade unter Linux meine Stream-Deck-Tasten belege:

I mean, I *think* this is a well known trick in the Shortcuts community? But if you’re adding custom icons to your Homescreen to launch apps, adding the “Nothing” action first prevents a Shortcuts notification from showing when you launch it.

Fighting all day to get @zenitizer to play nicely with #SiriAI. All this worked so well with "Old Siri" via #Shortcuts / #AppIntents but this is a lot trickier 😞
At least querying, playing and stopping meditations through media playback schema works now (the most important bit) 😅

A quick reminder about one of my favorite Shortcuts—something I use every single day. Super simple, but incredibly useful: it converts rich text from the clipboard into plain text and copies it right back.

V2026.2 of BarCuts, my surprisingly useful #macOS #Shortcuts launcher, is out now!
The big headliner feature: In addition to English, BC now speaks German, French, Italian, Polish, and Spanish, too!

Meta+Super+Scroll, un atallo que acabo de descubrir por erro en KDE, faiche un zoom de todo o escritorio :_)

Is it just me, or has macOS 27 removed the Shortcuts launcher from the menu bar?
What’s the fastest way to launch a shortcut now? Typing the shortcut’s name into Spotlight rarely works. And when it does, it’s slow as hell.

Apple then: “It just works.”
Apple now: “It doesn’t work—but the price still goes up.”
#AppleMusic is a disaster. #Siri is an endless source of frustration. #Siri: endless frustration. #AirDrop: failed. #HomeKit: device not found #Shortcuts: action only partially executed. 🤦🏻

With a free #ChatGPT account, you can create a five-file “project” (a customized GPT chat) using the files in the .zip linked below to help you write #JavaScript for use in #Shortcuts.
The main source is @gluebyte ’s excellent tutorial at https://talk.automators.fm/t/tip-running-javascript-in-shortcuts-ios-macos/16575
I also used my collection of JavaScript-based shortcuts, mostly published at https://routinehub.co/user/atnbueno, as a practical source of examples.
I’d love feedback on how useful (or not 😅) this project template is.

the timix timer is addictive! i keep coming back to it over and over again. it's just perfect for tinkering with all these shortcuts and automations. today i mainly use it for my meditation practice but it's so much more powerful than that! here‘s a summary of how i use the app

Well this #iOS27 beta bug (all shortcuts fail to run via voice) has stumped my plans for a demo. Really killed my vibe.
What to do now... 🤔

Frage an VIM-Nutzer: Tastaturbelegung (normal, edit, visuell), Vim Movements usw. ist für eine Bearbeitung ohne Maus ja eine feine Sache und lohnt sich sicher für Leute, die viel Programm-Code schreiben.
Aus Eurer Sicht: Lohnt sich die Einarbeitung für jemanden für mich, der keinen Code sondern hauptsächlich Texte in einem Markdown-Editor schreibt? Wie schätzt Ihr die Lernkurve ein?

Started cleaning up and locking down my iPad Air when I discovered I had somehow required Touch ID to open the Shortcuts app, which is not an option. Retracing my steps, I found it’s because I required it for the Home app, which makes sense because home automations are available in Shortcuts. Does the same on my iPad Pro with Face ID, both on iPadOS 26.5.2. Does not work on my iPhone 13 mini, also 26.5.2.

You know what? I don’t need shortcuts. I’ll just click through the menu, thanks

TIL: why it’s ctrl+V
Larry Tesler, the creator of copy/paste, explains:
The Lisa was the first system to assign XCVZ to cut, copy, paste and undo (shifted with the “apple” key). I chose them myself. X was a standard symbol of deletion. C was the first letter of Copy. V was an upside down caret and apparently meant Insert in at least one earlier editor.

Things I learned today:
- Websites can override Cmd+R
- Google Sheets uses it to replace current cell with the cell on the LEFT -
I have a Shortcut wired up to the Action Button on my iPhone that shows me the most common stuff I need to do in a hurry. It's in Control Center on my iPad and now in the Menu Bar on my Mac, so I have a consistent "quick action" menu everywhere.

When conforming to DeleteIntent, is there a way to show the plural form of the entity ("Books" vs "Book") in the Shortcuts app?
DeleteIntent requires an AppEntity array, but it ignores the parameter title and instead uses the entity typeDisplayRepresentation (which is singular).

Simulator regression summary 😭
- iOS 18.6: ✅
- iOS 26.3.1: ✅
- iOS 26.4.1: ✅ Shortcuts & intents correctly run but only one suggestion is used to create the shortcuts❌
- iOS 26.5: ❌ No shortcuts created. Not possible to run shortcuts or intents.
- iOS 27: ❌ Same as 26.5. -
Apple, can you please explain why running Shortcuts & App Intents on an iOS 18 simulator works fine but fails miserably on iOS 26 and iOS 27?
Can you please fix that for this release cycle?
