   I'm trying to create a shortcode for the categories widget. Can anyone tell me what I'd have to code inside my functions to get this working? Thanks so much!

   I've found this
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_categories
   but can't seem to make out how to create function for it to work as a shortcode.

   Not exactly sure what you're after here, but if the end goal is to use a shortcode to display the categories widget (say within a post/page) then you could use the Widgets on Pages plugin to create a sidebar that can be called via a shortcode?

   If you do this then you could add your categories widget to that sidebar... et voila!
