Shortcut for iPhone 15/16 action button - ideas

So I just upgraded from an iPhone 13 to iPhone 16. In trying to figure out what to do with the Action Button, I wound up making a shortcut that looks at the phone’s orientation.

Portrait: Toggles the flashlight. If I need the flashlight, I am almost always holding the phone this way.

Landscape Right: Camera. That way, whichever way I rotate the phone into landscape, either the Action Button or Camera Control button will be under my right index finger.

Otherwise: Right now, I have it set to “Remote” for the Roku or AppleTV, but am thinking about other possibilities.

Anyone else have button shortcuts based on orientation?

Yes.

Portrait is landscape left, landscape right is OmniFocus, portrait is settings, face down is DND.
