More From The Library
Search Twitter
Presents a menu for various Twitter search operations, including jumping right into the search field, showing Twitter Moments, searching through all tweets, cutting down results to only people you follow, or even searching your own tweets.
With this one tool, you can take advantage of all the awesome options buried in Twitter search – it’s like Google for people you follow.
This uses a combination of donated actions from Twitter, the Search Web action native to Shortcuts, and deep links taken from the web.
Toggle all accessories
Uses the Elgato Control Center app to toggle the Key Lights and Key Light mini on or off depending on their current state.

Prompts you to enter in a message, then copies the text, opens to Twitter for you to post, waits for you to return, then opens Threads with the message filled out. On Mac, opens the Threads website.
Listen to Page
Speaks the current page from Safari out loud; uses Listen to Page on iOS and Speak Text on macOS.
