Hello! I’m very bad making shortcuts on the its app.

Can someone help me to do the following on iPadOS?
- putting split view mode on (normally it is off)
- opening Zotero in fullscreen and voice recorder on Slide Over.

Thank you!

Not sure if these two shortcuts are what you have in mind.

I don’t have the zotero app installed on my iPad, but you can swap notability out for it.

Yeeees, wow, you are great! I could easily spend a week finding this, without working properly.

Do you know any more cool features with Shortcuts for pdf's?

I'm now realizing that one thing is missing. Can you create an action before to turn the multitask feature on? Because usually I have it turned off. I haven't figure it out.

Hah, you got me there.

It's apparently possible to use shortcut to jump into the multitasking tab in the settings app, but I am not able to figure out exact URL, or how to delay the action long enough for you to turn it on before the apps themselves launch. I don't think there is a way to toggle said feature on and off via a shortcut as well.

This is as far as I go with regards to automation. 😅
