How to create a keyboard shortcut to add a new Reminder?

I need to know how to setup "Shortcuts" app to create a keyboard shortcut to add a new Reminder (in the Reminder App), from whatever app I am using on the Mac, not only in Reminders which is pretty easy.


I would like to add a new Reminder for example, when:


  • I am on Chrome writing an email and I just got an idea to save it as Reminder, how to?
  • I am on Whatsapp and I just got an idea to save it as Reminder, how to?
  • Etc

MacBook Air, macOS 15.5

Apple recently created such a shortcut. Here is an extract from their press release:


The Shortcuts app adds Hold That Thought, a shortcut that prompts users to capture and recall information in a note so interruptions don’t derail their flow.


You can modify is slightly to add a keyboard shortcut (edit the shortcut and click the ⓘ icon in the top right of the screen.)
