[feature request] More keyboard navigation shortcuts

Open teddyber opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

It would be nice to be able to browse all column horizontally and vertically using keyboard. I know ctrl-left, ctrl-right, up and down can do that for display and reeading but having the focus moving from one toot to another and then enabling shortcuts like 'r', 'b', 'f', 'x', 'e' (Reply, Boost, Fav, eXpand text, Expand media) would be great

i'm personally a fan of 'j' and 'k' for up and down, 'h' and 'l' for column switch ;-)

HJKL here as well - I've been using tut a lot because I'm a vim goblin, but I'm not entirely jazzed about the TUI bit of it. I just want to be able to shitpost without touching my mouse, I still want to have scrolling feeds and images I don't have to open up manually to see, I wanna be able to recognize people by their avatars or quickly skim over many messages at once.

So basically rebindable and redundant keys (even if it has to be in an ini file if a GUI would be too much work), with anything like HJKL being handled by treating any moment you're focused in a text box as basically being "insert mode" and typing like a normal keyboard and only activating stuff like HJKL when not focused in a text box (ie after hitting escape).
