![Harvest Theme - Tweetbot 6.3](https://i.snap.as/3Q0YFS3h.png)

Yesterday morning, after finally taking the taking the time to explore the modernizations shipped with TweetBot 6.2, [last week](https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/17/tweetbot-6-2-update-timeline-widgets-multiple-windows-support-ipad), 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](https://bilge.world/tweetbot-6-ios-review), 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:
## As the increasingly haphazard world of native Twitter software collapses around us, let us again recognize Tapbots’ sure footing.

No, I can’t quite believe it, either, but I am investing *two whole*, precious items in this feed to a single application in the same calendar year. If you're viewing this on *The Psalms*'

Several weeks ago, after finally taking the taking the time to explore the modernizations shipped with TweetBot 6.2 [in mid-August](https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/17/tweetbot-6-2-update-timeline-widgets-multiple-windows-support-ipad), 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](https://bilge.world/tweetbot-6-ios-review), 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:

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.

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.

Anyway, though their spare release notes don’t mention it, the Tapbots guys obviously hooked a keyboard up to an iPhone recently. I’m actually not quite sure how many of these I missed before, but using the `R` key to Retweet, `Q` to Quote Tweet, and `L` to like have all been re-implemented. (You’ll need to confirm Retweets with the `Return` key.)

# Mobile Dot Twitter Dot Com

## An alternative for those who refuse to pay for premium experiences but can no longer use ~~Tweetie~~ Twitter’s native option.

A few minutes ago, Twitter’s native iOS client inexplicably logged me out of the three accounts I’d signed in for the *second time today*, which for the first time prompted not anger, nor even frustration, truly, but a whole-body, calming, peaceful acceptance: **for me and my house, the time really has come to let com.atebits.Tweetie2 finally rest **.

#### Its last functions on my device
1. Sharing the highest-quality image files possible.
2. Interacting with my account settings (checking up, exploring new beta features, etc.)
3. Hosting, popping-in, and testing Twitter Spaces.
4. Notifications.

For just these, the app occupied a woeful amount of file space compared to… just about anything else (we’re talking [*by a factor of ten*](https://twitter.com/NeoYokel/status/1432312460095148034)) and at this point, literally too much of *my life* and emotional energy with its unendingly stupefying level of neglect. It hasn’t made sense for a long time.
