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

    Super + -> ist bekannt für die Windowspositionierung. Wenn man gleich noch einen Pfeil drückt, so wird aus der halben Darstellung eine Viertel-Ansicht (Cinnamon):

  3. 🚀 Listening Post v2026.3 is out! It now speaks six languages:

    🇬🇧 English​: Hello
    🇩🇪 German​: Hallo
    🇫🇷 French: Bonjour
    🇮🇹 Italian: Ciao
    🇪🇸 Spanish: Hola
    🇵🇱 Polish: Cześć
    🇪🇺❤️

    It turns your #Mac into the scrobbling hub for all your #Apple devices.
    Supports #Shazam on #iPhone, #iPad, #AppleWatch; #LastFm, #ListenBrainz, #Maloja, #Rocksky, #AppleMusic, #Spotify, #Deezer, #Mastodon, local CSV/JSONL files, and #Shortcuts automations.

  4. 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.

  5. 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) 😅

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

    This update is for all customers, old and new, including those who bought their perpetual license before August of 2025. Read more on the forum: forum.actions.work/t/barcuts-2

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

  9. 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.

  10. 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. 🤦🏻

  11. 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 talk.automators.fm/t/tip-runni

    I also used my collection of JavaScript-based shortcuts, mostly published at routinehub.co/user/atnbueno, as a practical source of examples.

    I’d love feedback on how useful (or not 😅) this project template is.

  12. 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

  13. 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... 🤔

  14. 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?

  15. 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.

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

  17. 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.
