Apple Shortcuts Collection

A collection of useful Shortcuts for MacOS.

Some shortcuts will be supported on iOS too.

Note:
When importing shortcuts, whether from a file or via an iCloud link, some settings under "Details" are not applied. For example, the Finder integration into the context menu is never selected and the set keyboard shortcut is not adopted. Show on Apple Watch, on the other hand, is always selected.
