Complex shortcuts

These shortcuts take advantage of advanced actions and involve intricate programming concepts that work together to solve a very specific need.

Some of these do one thing very well, while others may do lots of things as one single shortcut.

Either way, there’s likely a lot of actions and the whole thing might be hard to understand at first glance – your best bet is reading the comments and testing it out with a trial run.
