Add a keyboard shortcut to change account (multiple accounts)

Open querkmachine opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have quite a few Fediverse accounts, each of them following different circles of people. I often want to view a lot of homepage timelines in a short period of time, or will find something on one account but want to share, favourite or reply to it from a different.

As it stands, clicking on avatar (top left of screen) → Accounts... (top left of screen) → a specific account (bottom centre of screen) feels like a lot of extraneous effort, especially when you're doing it four or five times every 10–30 minutes.

Describe the solution you'd like It'd be handy if a keyboard shortcut could be added to move between accounts without having to go through menus.

For example, maybe pressing a switches to the next account in the list, before looping back around to the first. Extra points for if it maintains the current view when doing (feed, notification, post, etc.)

Describe alternatives you've considered Use a different client that better supports multiple accounts at once, I guess. 🤷 I can't see any way of doing this easier, as it stands.

Thanks!

Seconding this, and to add a possible alternative I think it would already help a lot if instead of opening the account list in a new pop-up at the bottom of the screen it was be a sub-menu of the Accounts button, similar to the More button.

That would be a nice feature. Maybe <shift>1, <shift>2, … could switch the first 10 accounts?

Until this is implemented, one can open several Phanpy tabs, each for a each account. This is what I do.
