Very cool project! Thanks for sharing!

Makes me realise that a dock of shortcuts that would change per app would be nice!

Like if cmd + 1, and up would be linked to a displayed shortcut in a dock and change according to the app. (Maybe it’s what the virtual function bar was on some MacBooks?)

It wouldn't be Dock-based, but if you don't mind palette menus this could be easily done with Keyboard Maestro.

Thank you Glad you liked it. Custom app shortcut is out of the project scope. I want it to stay a simple and Dock-focused solution. But thanks to the CLI tool baked into the DockFlow app and the Shortcut integration, you can maybe create some automation rules that will trigger even Shortcut changes when the dock preset is changed.
