# Open in Visual Studio Code via "Shortcuts" app

- Make sure `code` executable is added to path. If not `cmd+shift+p` in code and run `install 'CODE' command in PATH`
- Open Shortcuts
- Create a new Quick Action
- Set “Receive” to `files or folders`
- Add a `Run Shell Script` action
   - your default shell should already be selected, otherwise use `/bin/zsh` for macOS 10.15 (”Catalina”) or later
   - older versions of macOS use `/bin/bash`
   - if you're using something else, you probably know what to do :wink:
- Set the script action to the following
   ```
   code "$@"
   ```
   
- Set “Pass input” to `as arguments`
- Save by closing the window
