that app. You do this by making the shortcut accessible from the Quick Actions menu, the Services menu, the share sheet, the Touch Bar or a keyboard shortcut. </p><p>You can also run shortcuts from the Dock and menu bar, but content in your apps will not be used as input for the shortcut. For example, while working on your Mac, you could click a custom shortcut in the Dock to configure your workspace.
