Questions
No. Speechy runs your shortcuts the same way the Shortcuts app does.
Yes. Words after its name go in as text, and saying "these files" passes what's selected in Finder.
No. Shortcuts only run once your request is sent.
Set it to Ask first and Speechy asks before running it, or Off and it's never matched.
