When combined with the Shortcuts app, the iPhone 15 Pro's new Action button offers endless possibilities for customization. Taking innovation a step further, Federico Viticci at MacStories has come up with the "MultiButton" shortcut, allowing users to assign two different shortcuts to a single press of the Action button.By default, the Action button can be assigned to one action triggered by a press and hold. However, Federico's ingenious shortcut allows for the assignment of two separate shortcuts to the same button. Here's how it works: With MultiButton, you can assign two distinct shortcuts to the Action button. Unlike other solutions that require selecting shortcuts from a menu, MultiButton automatically cycles between the two shortcuts when the Action button is pressed rapidly multiple times. It eliminates the need for manual selection; simply press the Action button, and MultiButton takes care of the rest. The concept behind MultiButton is straightforward: the first press of the Action button activates a primary shortcut, and if it is pressed again within a few seconds, it triggers a secondary shortcut. Effectively, MultiButton doubles the number of shortcuts that can be assigned to the Action button, enhancing speed and productivity on your iPhone. To set up the MultiButton shortcut, simply download it and run it for the first time. The setup process will guide you in choosing the two different shortcuts that you want to assign to the Action button. The primary shortcut will be triggered with the first press, while the second will activate with a subsequent press. While ideally, Apple would eventually allow natively assigning a second action to the Action button through a double-press, Federico's shortcut offers a similar solution for now. Additionally, Federico's write-up includes exciting examples of how he has utilized the Action button for his workflows. You can download the MultiButton shortcut from the MacStories website and explore Federico's innovative approach to enhancing the Action button's functionality.
