Keyboard shortcuts on Twitter are not by any means new, in fact they have been around for a good couple of years or so but still very few people use them.
As a photographer who is constantly spending my time in front of a computer editing, keyboard short-cuts are an essential part of my workflow.
It has taken me while to actually start using the shortcuts on Twitter, mainly because I’m either use a mobile app or a third party application like HootSuite.
Recently though have found myself using the desktop application more and more as I have a tendency to edit with two computers running side by side to allow to me multi-task better and not have lots of windows open on one machine (who says boys can’t multi-task).
Whilst I’m writing this on one keyboard I only have to reach over and tap GR on another keyboard to have a quick look at mentions that are coming through or even better hit full stop (.) to see an updated feed. Using the spacebar to scroll is also much better than scrolling a wheel on a mouse or swiping a trackpad.
Keyboard shortcuts are easy to find just go to Tools and select Keyboard Shortcuts from the drop down menu. All you have to do is pick a couple to learn for a few days and it’ll become second nature in no time!

Good content, nice to read and very engaging, your use of links is amazing, it’s funny to read the anchor text and realize you actually want to click on that link other than it just being a whorish shotgun blast of optimization. Nothing is more refreshing than seeing power users have great search engine AND is using links for their intended use; to organize separate engaging bodies of content for a user. Well done.
If I had any advice I’d tone down the ads for your services, your content speaks volumes about your credibility which takes a bit of a hit when I get testimonials flooding my browser.
Otherwise keep up the Great work!
Thanks for your feedback.
Michael, this is really useful!!! Thanks a lot. You are right about the importance of shortcuts. I have saved tons of time by using them. You are definitely the most multitasking boy I have ever known 🙂
