Using Siri as a command palette - eviltoast
  1. Go to Settings ➜ Accessibility ➜ Siri
  2. Turn on “Type to Siri”
  3. Go to the Shortcuts app
  4. Create shortcuts that ask for input with short names (they’re not case sensitive)
  5. Your iPhone now has a command palette

A screenshot of an iPhone with Siri being typed to and running a shortcut with the name "dg". The shortcut searches DuckDuckGo. The input is "Siri as a command palette".

    Could you expand a bit on step 4? Do you have to create just one shortcut, or do you create multiple shortcuts?

      Multiple shortcuts, I imagine - the one in this screenshot looks like “dg” to search DuckDuckGo.

      Multiple, they don’t have to accept input but they can like in the DuckDuckGo example. The idea is to set up easy to type commands you can execute quickly
