Native Twitter for iOS App Considerations #31

Open extratone opened 3 years ago

extratone commented 3 years ago

Added this issue mainly because Twitter for iOS's recent addition of a "Spaces" tab in the bottom Navigation Row moved the Notifications Command ⌘ + 3 to ⌘ + 4.

Will followup with a full list of keyboard shortcuts for the app eventually.

Native Twitter for iOS Bluetooth Keyboard Shortcuts Considerations as of Twitter Blue's Introduction

Custom Navigation - Twitter Blue on iOS

As you’ll see in the screenshot embedded above, Custom Navigation offers one a choice of up to 6 tabs from a total of 10, which include some Bluetooth keyboard shortcut considerations I suspect you’ll not find detailed from any other source. To start, ⌘ + F will now reliably open the Explore tab and (most of the time) deliver one’s cursor directly to its search field. However, this only functions when Explore has been selected as one of the bottom nav tabs, which really misses out on an opportunity for the shortcut to be uniquely useful, in my view. Otherwise, ⌘ + 1-6 will open the bottom tabs you’ve chosen in order, which means - brace yourselves - that Twitter Blue’s Custom Navigation technically includes configurable keyboard shortcuts.

Also notable: when viewing the obligatory Home tab, one can navigate between their Lists with just the (unmodified) left and right arrow keys! ⌘ + , is now a dependable way of opening the app’s Settings menu, ⌘ + \ pulls up the account switcher, ⌘ + =,-,0 manipulates text size, app-wide. Several other commands in the public-facing keyboard shortcuts documentation - like ⌘ + M to switch between light and dark modes, for instance - either have yet to be updated in the document or are iPadOS-exclusive.

Keyboard Shortcuts Considerations in Twitter for iOS with Twitter Blue (Video)

A quick rundown of the state of Bluetooth keyboard shortcuts support in the native Twitter for iOS app (on iPhone, specifically) as of Version 8.92.3.

  1. The left and right arrow keys (unmodified) can navigate between one's Lists when in the Home timeline view.
  2. ⌘ + 1-6 navigates between the corresponding bottom navigation tabs.
  3. ⌘ + , opens the app's Settings menu.
  4. ⌘ + F will open the Explore tab and land one's cursor in its search field providing that Explore is included in one's custom navigation tabs.
  5. ⌘ + V anywhere in the app will open links to Tweets from the clipboard.
  6. ⌘ + =, -, and 0 will manipulate text size app-wide.
  7. ⌘ + \ opens the account switcher.
