Send the selected text in the editor to a shortcut in the Shortcuts as as input. Replaces the text in the editor with the result text from the shortcut.
This is meant as an example action to demonstrate how to call a shortcut and get a result via the Shortcut script object
To change the name of the shortcut being called, right-click on the action in the action list and “Configure” the action.
