#shortcuts

Every week I sit down to budget, and it starts by opening Safari with two windows I set up.

It finally clicked that I should automate this, so, here it is! A combination of AppleScript + Shortcuts and it's now one click in my Dock.

I show the AppleScript on the left so you can see it all. It checks for Safari running because launching Safari gets you a window automatically. Second picture is the result. (Two YNAB tabs because I have $ and € budgets.)

I struggle to understand #devs who don’t use #keyboard #shortcuts for even the simplest stuff like cut and paste.

How do you work by highlighting the word with the mouse (not even double clicking it) then going to the top menu, clicking edit, wander up and down the menu looking for copy, then doing the same to paste!

Are there any macOS Shortcut experts?

I’m trying to do a REGEX replace, to replace decimal commas in a CSV with periods. I have this REGEX in the replace action:

(?<=[0-9]+),(?=[0-9]+)

I have set the action to be case insensitive

Here’s the shortcut: icloud.com/shortcuts/6f9acd95a

In VSCode, it correctly finds the occurrences, but the Shortcut action doesn’t do anything

Anyone knows what’s up? 🤔

#duckduckfedi Please advise.
Is there a way to send a bit of data somewhere from an iPhone in a way that a Linux PC would pick up once it's booted and do *something* with it (preferably in a form of a Python/Ruby script)?

I tried using iOS's #Shortcuts to write to a Dropbox file, and it's doable but tedious to work on and debug.

Released v2025.0.4 β of my new #macOS app #BarCuts (actions.work/barcuts) last night, and I have a feeling that it'll be the last beta version before release! 🤞🏼

(BarCuts shows your #Shortcuts workflows where you need them, when you need them. It's quite handy.)

Give me 55s of your time, and I'll explain my new app BarCuts to you!

#BarCuts is a #macOS menu bar app that displays #Shortcuts workflows. It allows you to "tag" workflows to an app. When that app is active and in front, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu. It's pretty nice!

I just found a method to avoid having to be pestered by the banner when a #shortcut is running from control center or Home Screen. It involves using the url scheme to run the shortcut you want and then opening the app you were in when initiating it (or you could have it return to Home Screen). This causes the shortcut to run from inside the #shortcuts app instead of showing the banner.

New #beta version of #BarCuts is out! If you have a lot of #Shortcuts workflows on #macOS 14+, and are looking for a way to show only a subset of them in a menu, dependent on the currently active app, you're the target demographic for my new app 🫵🏼

This update 2025.0.1 brings a KB shortcut, submenus, and global workflows, and more.
