How to continue a shortcut from the app? I have a shortcut that opens up an app copies one thing for 8 seconds then copies another thing. Instead of waiting x seconds i want to continue the shortcut when i am ready from the app. Is there a way shortcuts can detect something, such as volume x or off in order to trigger if action and continue the shortcut

Is there a way when the shortcut is finished to not go back to the shortcuts menu but remain in the app. For instance the first example can I get it to finish showing the newly added item in things?

Excellent tutorial!

I was wondering if there is a way to close apps via Shortcuts? For example, if you open the Music app, can I create a shortcut to close the Music app?
