Amiga Shortcuts for iOS/iPadOS/macOS

[Nightfox]

Hey hey

I have released a set of useful shortcuts that can be used to remotely control your Amiga from your Mac, iPhone or iPad.

All of these devices ship with the Shortcuts app. You can learn about it here:
https://support.apple.com/en-au/guid...ts/welcome/ios

These scripts require your Amiga to be connected and have amigasshd running. AmigaSSHd is included in the AmigaSSH package here http://aminet.net/package/comm/net/amigassh. I start up amigasshd as part of my s:Network-Startup script so it is always running.

You can run the shortcuts either from the Shortcuts app, or you can add them to your Home screen or ask Siri to launch them. On macOS, you can also find the shortcuts by clicking on the Shortcuts button on the top menu bar. For shortcuts that accept text input, you will also find the relevant shortcuts in the Share menu when you share text. For example if you are in Safari and see some text you want copied to the Amiga's clipboard, simply select the text and in the text selection menu that pops up, tap the right arrow button a couple of times until you see the "share" option. From there you will see the option to copy the text to the Amiga's clipboard. If you are launching a shortcut on its own, ie not from within the context of the share menu, then the shortcut will pop up a text box where you can type in the text.

Shortcuts can also be automated, for example you can have a shortcut run every morning at 10am or have a shortcut run when you receive a text message from your mother.

NOTE: There seems to be a bug in amigasshd which causes SSH connections to randomly refuse to connect. Just keep running the shortcut until it works. For me it's usually a 50% chance of it not connecting so you shouldn't have to reattempt it more than 3 or 4 times although one time it required about 10 attempts. Make sure you keep checking for version updates to AmigaSSH since this bug may get fixed in a later version.

Here is the list of shortcuts. When I make more I will add them to this list. When you download a shortcut it will sync across all your Apple devices so you only need to get each shortcut once. When you install a shortcut for the first time it will ask you to fill out the necessary connection details which are hostname/ip, port, username and password. It will remember these settings but you can also manually edit them later. You can also extend shortcuts as you please with your own code. If you end up breaking a shortcut, you can just download it again from this page. Feel free to use these shortcuts as a base to create your own shortcuts. If you make any cool ones, share them in here so that others can use them too.
