Continuing with the notes example, how to get the shortcut to first choose from a list of existing folders and then create a new note (typed or dictated) or clipboard either within a specific existing note or as a new note? E.g. open a folder called “Ideas”, then open a note called “scratchpad” and create the new note or clipboard within scratchpad. Or alternatively create the new note or clipboard as a new note within folder “Ideas”.

I'd love for you to review the now very prominent Icon Themer shortcut. It is extremely powerful and really shows what shortcuts are capable of. Also it seems quite useful but many people have reservations about how it works. Just a thought - looking forward to anything!

Totally agree. After switching from Android I was amazed by the possibilities of custom automations.

My wife and I were just talking about how I really enjoy your videos and that there hasn’t been another person as in-depth and productive with the vast amount things you can do with the iPad. I love your vids!

Truly glad I found your channel and have learned so much from you. I must admit this time with this video on shortcuts I was extremely excited to watch. This time you lost me and this was suppose to be shortcut 101? I will rewatch again. Overall, keep up the great job you are doing.

Thank you so much for this! Can’t believe I just automated how I use Evernote. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series

Great job on the basics of shortcuts. Looking forward to more of these

Nice explanation. Looking forward for more. I always found shortcut tutorials confusing. But this is great. Thank you.

I now finally understand how shortcuts work. Thanks, as always, for another amazing video!

This was very informative, appreciate you doing these kinds of videos. Thank you!

Great video Chris, with this series all be able to make my own shortcuts instead of stealing yours from your web site. Shortcuts is awesome BUT it only works with very few apps, I'm a Google and Microsoft ecosystem user and shortcuts is almost for Apple apps!

Thank you sooooo much !!! I really wanted this series 🙌

great Video man! Looking forward to the advanced ones!

Awesome video thank you! This made me start playing with shortcuts and I’m trying to control things through google assistant. Problem I have is the google assistant opens and it does what I want but then stays open. Is there a way to get shortcuts to close an application once its done with it?

Thanks again ! An interesting shortcut would be to automate video export to youtube (with everything filled) to ease the process at it maximum...I know the process using shortcut + zapier + auphonic but if you have something better please let us know !

Hi Chris :) Nice video .. one question, do I have option to set up a keyboard shortcut to for example add a task to my Todoist app? I get used to do this on my mac but still could not find any option do this on my Ipad ..

Great videos! Many thanks

great job Chris. Suggestion Countdown from a number at a selected interval. Great for counting reps for an exercise so you can watch/read something instead counting.

So many people under-estimate the power of shortcuts. But this is kind of awesome!

Chris...teaching myself shortcuts, and your videos are really helpful. Can you give me some advice? I have a shortcut that asks for text that I append to a note that my shortcut has created. Is there an action that will change the format of that text (e.g., bold, heading size)? I thought the “Rich Text from Markdown” might help, but it doesn’t (or I’m using it working). Having new notes formatted in the style I want is the whole point of the shortcut, so figuring out how to do this is critical. Thank you!

I would love to create a shortcut on Todoist - to add specific items on my existing projects

Nice job. You really take your time in all of your videos to patiently explain what you are doing. Question: at 11:22 you mention that hitting the return key is like clicking done instead of adding a new line. Seems like since ios14 my magic keypad return key doesn't have that action anymore, it just adds a new line and the only way I can select done on a shortcut is with the mouse or touch. Can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Any ideas?

Oh maybe they fixed it. It’s been like that for years, and I guess I haven’t checked since being on iOS 14.

So I do a lot of studying. So I didnt know if I can use a shortcut to open the same app in the side by side screens (Goodnotes document containing textbook on left, and Goodnotes document containing notes folder on right) and then also have another app pull from the side screen that I can pull in and out when need to. Can I set it up to have two of the same app on the split and pull another from the side?

Good video as usual. 👍🏻

Awesome... very good explanation... can u share your iPad wallpaper link?

I figured out how to add a shortcut for2 apps to open in split screen but, is there a way to make the apps connected to that shortcut perform a specific action? Example, the shortcut I created was for the Notes app and Calendar to open in split view. I would like that every time I run the shortcut, the Notes app opens to a specific note cause it’s notes that I refer back to pretty often. Thanks!!! Great video btw!!!

Hi! Is there a way to create a shortcut that will ask for input (time) and then it will create an Automation that will run a particular app/shortcut at the time given as input. Thanks!

Thanks for the useful tutorial. I have been trying to turn my now useless fn key to work as the globe key using a shortcut, instead of setting my caps lock to globe key.

I like your video. I’m trying to set up some different “scenes” if you will in my house with shortcuts. Example is morning coffee time, I’d like a slideshow of a photo album to play on my Apple TV, while a pre selected music playlist plays on my HomePod. I can’t seem to get this to work, but I have a lot of these scenes that I’d like to set up.

Would it be possible to create a shortcut which can control Spotify from an other app (from safari without to open the control center? Maybe with a keyboard shortcut) ? E.g. to skip a song or go to the previous one? Thanks!

Great videos.

Whenever I have the shortcuts on my iPhone 8+ programmed they are properly executed but return an error message as a notification. I would love to know why that is. I know that some cannot trigger without manual confirmation but still all of them (even time related) result in an error notification. Is there a workaround? I have iOS 15 Beta 6 installed! Thx fort the great tutorial! Saludos!

Is it possible to build one for weekly Sunday's, 9:00 to 12:05 ~ to just turn off all sounds then back on, rather than trying to remember to slide the side switch to silent?

Hi Chris, can you make a shortcut to open the app Zoom and log into a reoccurring meeting or something similar? I think this will be helpful. Thanks bud.

I realise you may not have time to answer my question, so I understand if you are too busy and don't reply, but would really appreciate your insight if you can. Would it be possible to use shortcuts to automatically press a button within an app when presented with a certain screen? My specific situation is that I'm trying to set up a Square payment device to receive busking donations without needing to initiate them. I managed to do so with an Android, but am exploring using an iPad and have run into an issue. When it approves a payment, it remains on the approved screen, showing the amount just paid and does not return to the home page till the 'new sale' button has been pressed. So I really need a work around for this. I.e when the app remains on the approved screen for 30 seconds it would navigate back to home page. Or even if the app is inactive for 120 seconds to navigate back to the home page. Is it possible to get shortcuts to do things within apps like that or is that just something only the app developers can make occur?

Hey, thanks so much for this tutorial , was very helpful! But I think I did something wrong 🙁. When I tap on the “clipboard” after tapping on the notes shortcut, a display pops up to please specify some text in the create note action. Help!! Thanks!!!

Is there a way to create a shortcut that acts as a CRM so to speak? I mean if we can create a shortcut to create a contact that is automatically added to a group (clients, customers, cold contacts) and based on that group it creates a followup reminder to call/message/email him after 24 hours. And if all that can be tracked on notes or something like first contact date etc.

Hey Chris, really hope you see my comment cause Apple employees couldn't answer my question. I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut on the iPad that would output certain text templates I have written on my notes app. It is similar to the "text replacement" feature in settings, but the only problem with that is that is the formatting (it wont let it paste multiple lines of text). Is there a way I can do it on shortcuts on iPadOS? I think I've seen people do it on MacOS

I’d really like to learn how to do a shortcut for - when I reach specific destination (AND specific day of the week), menu provides options of texts to send to a designated person. Like on Wednesdays when I arrive at my clients house I can choose one of three things to send to that client. I’ve got the destination, the menu, and the sending text all built but I’m missing something because it’s not working. I tried "if" options as well but "Wednesdays" as a text isn't working ☹️ any advise?
