Twitter keyboard shortcuts
Twitter keyboard shortcuts, they do exist. In fact, they come in very handy when you’re navigating Twitter. Twitter keyboard shortcuts can also save you valuable amounts of time during your day.
To use them, all you need to do is go to Twitter.com and hit one of the following keyboard shortcuts.
For example, if you hit the ”N” key, it will start a new tweet. If you want to send someone a direct message, all you need to do is press the “M” key and you’ll get a pop-up to send someone a direct message. In addition to using these basic features with a Twitter keyboard shortcut, you can hit “G” and then the “U” key and you’ll get a prompt to take you right to a users profile.
Note: the letters are not case-sensitive so you can hit “n” or “N” to compose a new tweet.
