Most Twitter users probably don’t know the little keyboard commands they could use to twitter (and move between tweets) much faster. I must say that we did not know them either, until the user (also surprised by the discovery) drew our attention to them. And yet, if you open Twitter on a computer bureau in Chrome and you type the “?” key, you’ll see a pop-up listing at least 41 keyboard shortcuts that can really change how you use the web. social. In this article, we use uppercase and lowercase letters alternately, simply to make the letters in question less ambiguous. However, you just need to enter them in lower case for it to work.
Like us, have you missed these 41 Twitter keyboard shortcuts?
For example, to reply to a tweet, did you know that all you have to do is press the “T” key, or that pressing the “L” key instantly likes the tweet? Less intuitive, although if you’re a developer this key sequence will be more familiar to you, the “j” “k” keys on your keyboard take turns navigating between tweets. “J” lets you go to the next message down, and “k” lets you go back to the previous message up. The advantage of using “j” and “k” instead of the direction keys is that the fingers are suddenly closer to the other letters on the keyboard that are also associated with the command. For example, “l” for “like’, ‘g+h’ to go home, ‘o’ to open image, ‘i’ to open/close DM, ‘m’ to disable video, ‘g+p’ to access your profile and so on. And instead of dragging the feed down to reload tweets, pressing a dot (“.”) does exactly the same thing. There is also a whole series of commands starting with the letter “g” (on began to mention a few). One of the most practical, without a doubt, is “g+m” to send a DM, “g+s” to access the settings, and “g+u” to access the user profile. The search field is then pre-populated with an at sign, and you just need to enter from memory the alias of the user whose profile you want to see. For example, @jack for Jack Dorsey. Of course, there are mandatory elements. For example, “n” allows you to type a new tweet and “⌘+Enter” (on a Mac, but you can easily find the equivalent on a PC by opening a screen with all the commands for your keyboard / machine anywhere on Twitter) sends a tweet immediately.
