# SystemShortcut An opaque reference to a user-configured action for use in a widget button. ``` struct SystemShortcut ``` ## Overview The system creates `SystemShortcut` instances to represent a person’s choice when they configure the action for a button in a widget. It can represent a custom shortcut, App Shortcut, system action, or an installed app. `SystemShortcut` only exposes metadata that the system needs to fill the configuration UI, for example, the action’s display representation. It doesn’t provide the app or widget with a custom shortcut’s actions, parameters, or implementation details. ## Topics ### Resolving the type [`static let defaultResolverSpecification: EmptyResolverSpecification`](/documentation/AppIntents/SystemShortcut/defaultResolverSpecification) [`typealias Specification`](/documentation/AppIntents/SystemShortcut/Specification) [`typealias ValueType`](/documentation/AppIntents/SystemShortcut/ValueType) [`typealias UnwrappedType`](/documentation/AppIntents/SystemShortcut/UnwrappedType) ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`Escapable`](/documentation/Swift/Escapable) [`DisplayRepresentable`](/documentation/AppIntents/DisplayRepresentable) [`Copyable`](/documentation/Swift/Copyable) [`PersistentlyIdentifiable`](/documentation/AppIntents/PersistentlyIdentifiable) [`SendableMetatype`](/documentation/Swift/SendableMetatype) [`Equatable`](/documentation/Swift/Equatable) [`CustomLocalizedStringResourceConvertible`](/documentation/Foundation/CustomLocalizedStringResourceConvertible) [`Sendable`](/documentation/Swift/Sendable) [`TypeDisplayRepresentable`](/documentation/AppIntents/TypeDisplayRepresentable) [`IntentValueConvertible`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueConvertible) [`InstanceDisplayRepresentable`](/documentation/AppIntents/InstanceDisplayRepresentable) [`IntentValueExpressing`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueExpressing) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
