Widget

It can be convenient to launch shortcuts from the Shortcuts App Widget. But as more shortcuts are configured to appear on the widget, valuable vertical space on the widget screen is filled since shortcuts appear only two abreast in the Shortcuts App Widget. Shortcut Launcher provides quick access to all shortcuts without sacrificing this valuable space.

Getting Started

Before configuring Shortcut Launcher, try modifying the names of a few Library shortcuts by adding the emojis from one or more of the default categories. (See image above.) Then just run Shortcut Launcher as-is to see the effect.

Customizing

The behavior of Shortcut Launcher can be changed two ways:

By modifying the default settings in the Dictionary action. Other settings can be modified by using Settings > Customize Shortcut...

The primary method is by changing the Dictionary. For advanced users, the additional settings are provided to fine tune the behavior of Shortcut Launcher.

Multiple Copies

Shortcut Launcher can be copied and renamed. For example, one copy could be configured similarly to the default settings, whereas, a second copy could be configured with primarily Shortcut Names rather than Shortcut Categories. Another possibility would be a third that includes Shortcuts Names and/or Shortcut Categories that are designed to be used with the iOS Share Sheet.
