Yesterday morning, after finally taking the taking the time to explore the modernizations shipped with TweetBot 6.2, last week, it occurred to me that it might be an ideal time to follow up on a brief exchange I’d had with Tapbots support in mid-February concerning a single, single key Bluetooth keyboard shortcut, ultimately - using the F key to favorite (and now Shift + ⌘ + L to “like”) which then seemed to have been lost in the transition from Tweetbot 5 to Tweetbot 6. If you’ll recall from my first stupidly time-consuming big Post of 2021, our conversation was left open ended with “Thanks, we’ll take a look at these.” You might also recall a very specific pledge of mine which I just rediscovered:
Without being verbose, I’ll just tell you that if a near future update to the app fixes the
Fand⌘ + Rshortcuts, I 𝒲ℐℒℒ shit out my whole ass.
The amount I’d learned about iPhone History and its operating system’s coinciding development in the interim felt absolutely ginormous… So frighteningly great was it to behold, that I actually included a lame suggestion in my reply, that it might have something to do with Objective C vs. SwiftUI (god y’all are so cliquey though,) in what I also decided would be the last time I bothered them about it.
Just twenty-one minutes later:
Naturally… They were 100% correct… I just somehow managed to skip the crucial step of actually trying the shortcuts in the app before reaching out. Very likely the least competent behavior possible from The iPhone Hardware Keyboard Guy, yeah?
Anyway, though their spare release notes don’t mention it, the Tapbots guys obviously hooked a keyboard up to an iPhone recently.
