Quick Action Touch Bar Greyed Out

The green vs blue is just a matter of choosing a different highlight color in System Settings->Appearance. I don’t expect that to make a difference regarding the shortcuts.

Regarding there being a section called “General” or not: I don’t know for sure, maybe it has to do with the existing Services. I am not at my mac to check, but I guess those are the services where “no input” is selected. Maybe you don’t have one like that, so “General” does not appear. A service like the one you showed above, receiving text, is probably in the “Text” category, and so on. Again, just guessing, not at my mac to check. Perhaps you would just have to look for your service in a different group. I often have trouble finding them because I have so many…

Anyway, glad that you got it working!

On my older intel MacBook I was able to create the same wifiToggle and assign a keyboard shortcut to it to easily toggle my wifi on and off.

Any thoughts, solutions, help? Thanks.

WiFI can easily be toggle from the menubar...(?)

You can use the Shortcuts application as you describe, but I am puzzled as to why you could not do the same as before.

Why not add the keyboard shortcut in exactly the same way to your Quick Action as you did before?

System Settings->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts

Then click Services.

The organization of System Pref... er Settings has changed somewhat, but it all works pretty much as it did previously. I have many Automator Quick Actions to which I have assigned keyboard shortcuts; some came from previous versions, some added in Ventura.

I might be missing something, but when I went to services to attempt to setup the shortcut, I found no way to add it. Now that it is created, it does show up under "Services" -> "Shortcuts". But if there is a way to create a brand-new one there without using the Shortcuts app, I've not seen it.

Sure there is. When you create a Service (aka "Quick Action") in Automator, you can then add the keyboard shortcut for it as I showed before. Of course, you need to create the actual shortcut before it appears in System Settings.

here is a silly "Hello, World" example, just to show that it works:

1) Automator, New, choose Quick Action

2) Create your Quick Action - in this case, have your mac say "Hello, Word" - and save it (I used the name "Hello, World!", of course you can name it in any way that makes sense):

3) In System Settings->Keyboard, click Keyboard Shortcuts, and you can find the new Service

Now, just double-click on "none" and type the desired shortcut. For example:

I got the change to check, and I confirm: all the services that appear under "General" are the ones that receive "no input".

I am sure that if you create one such Service, you will then see the General category as well.
