Apple’s new Shortcuts app lets you quickly run common tasks and actions on your Mac. Using Wave, you can launch shortcuts with the wave of your hand.

To launch a shortcut from Wave, you’ll need to tell Wave the shortcut’s name.

1. Copy the name of the shortcut you want to launch from the Shortcuts app.

I suggest copying rather than typing the name yourself because the name must match exactly.

An easy way to copy the shortcut name is to double-click the shortcut in Shortcuts.app to open the editing window. Then, click on the name in the window’s title bar and ⌘C to copy.

2. Paste the name into the URL text field for your Wave gesture.

3. Right-click on the text field and choose “Convert to Shortcut”.

You’re done! Wave will automatically convert the shortcut’s name into the correct URL.
