⚠️ Some keyboard shortcuts are reserved by macOS and cannot be overridden. If your combo doesn’t work, try a different one.

Step 2: Map That Keyboard Shortcut to a Gesture in Mudra Link

1. Open the Mudra Link desktop app.

2. Go to the Gesture Mapper.

3. Select the gesture you want to use.

4. Enter the same key combo you assigned in the Shortcuts app.

🖐️ Step 3: Trigger Your Shortcut with a Gesture

You’re all set! Anytime you perform the mapped gesture, your Mac will recognize it as the keyboard shortcut—and run the Shortcut.

You can use this to open apps, start Focus Mode, control HomeKit devices, and more—hands-free.
