Hi
I use a bluetooth keyboard with my iPad Pro. I like to open my apps like the mail with a keyboard shortcut. I checked the Shortcuts app, and there seems to be a possibility to create one. I found one already created for opening blank Pages document, I added the required actions and run the command from the app to make sure it is working. Then I checked the commands section in VO to assign keyboard shortcut to run the script. I assigned VO+CMD+P and confirmed to use this shortcut as it is already assigned to another command. I ran the script using the assigned shortcut and nothing happens. I checked again the Shortcuts app and ran the script frm the Run button and it worked. Still with the assigned keyboard shortcut it does not Any idea why this hapens?
Thanks for any help.

Hey there. I think we discuss this bug on another topic, but in any case, it seems that, at this time, it's not working. The shortcut assigned never runs as expected, neither in the upcomming ios 14.2. It has been reported to Apple many times...

Siri Shortcut VO commands have not worked since the day that Shortcuts came to iOS 13. I was one of those who filed a bug.
