MacOS Shortcuts are a recent addition to Apple’s various operating systems that provides an easy way to automate various workflows. You can tap on the shortcut or even ask Siri to run it. It’s an interesting idea but I haven’t learned how to use it. That’s probably because I tend to think of Emacs as my first level OS and am accustomed to handling automation and workflow through it rather than at the macOS level. Still, macOS has a wealth of useful apps and it’s nice to have a way of automating their use.
Dan Petrov has an interesting post about a package he wrote that integrates Emacs and shortcuts. It allows you to run or edit your shortcuts from the comfort of Emacs. Clearly the program is serving a small niche: the intersection of (diehard) Emacs and macOS users but it does serve as another example of how you can bend Emacs to do whatever you need to support your workflow.
If you fall into that intersection of Emacs and Mac users, take a look at Petrov’s post. It may inspire you to learn more about shortcuts and what they can do for you. And did I mention you can interact with them without leaving the comfort of Emacs?
