A Siri Shortcuts App Category

I'm just wondering why AppleVis doesn't have a section for said category.

Some sites where you can find Siri Shortcuts include:

Thank you for posting these references. The issue I have had with Shortcuts is that using them isn't really a shortcut. For example, I have one that's supposed to post the current song I'm listening to on Instagram. The only way this shortcut even works is when I go to the Shortcuts app and run it from there. Kind of defeats the purpose of siri Shortcuts.

If you have Full Keyboard Access enabled, (Settings>Accessibility)Keyboards)Full Keyboard Access), you can assign siri shortcuts to keyboard shortcuts easily.

Alternatively, you can assign Siri Shortcuts to VoiceOver Commands, (Settings)Accessibility)VoiceOver)Commands)
, though I am not having luck getting those to work using that method.
I have not tried using VO screen gestures as Siri shortcuts yet.

Hopefully, more folks can chime on the subject, for what Siri shortcuts they like and/or how to use them with out needing to open the Shortcuts app first.
