Then - in the interest of thoroughness - I did one more systematic run through of Tweetbot’s iPad shortcuts list just to make sure, sent the results to them, and heard back a week later: “thanks! we’ll take a look at these.” Which ones do you think you are missing, don’t think that should’ve changed. As I said, they did actually respond to me about this! First with doubt: I would go so far as to say the majority of the cross-platform apps which have bluetooth keyboard support have incongruities between the devices.ĭepending on how much you know about Tweetbot 6, you might find it interesting to know that its two remaining essential shortcuts (F to favorite a Tweet and ⌘ + R to reply) are no longer supported, though there was a point where I had both Tweetbot 5 and Tweetbot 6 on my phone when those shortcuts were still working on the former. The answer to your question, in my experience, is yes… Thank you for confirming that! I’ve always suspected, but I am ultimately not a developer. I’m posting this response here because I want to invte past, present, and future users to please share any thoughts they have on this if they so desire, but I’d very much like to consult you privately if you can spare the time and energy.įrom a developer perspective I would think it would be harder to make them not work on iPhone than to just let them be the same. Shout out to Tapbots for being the only recent exception.)īasically, I have come to the conclusion that the responsibility of writing the definitive iPhone x Bluetooth Keyboard guide/reference/documentation is my own.
Over the years, I’ve maintained a habit of going down the iPad list, testing each shortcut on iPhone, noting down the results in a table, and then emailing said list to the developers. As you’ve probably observed, even the association of iPad and keyboard in the past few years has actually made it worse - lookup any given iOS app’s keyboard shortcuts and you’ll return a list for iPad and nothing else. I have accumulated a lot of evidence to suggest that number of iPhone users who’ve used a hardware keyboard with their phone is extremely tiny, but I think it’s a dynamic that’s still worth documenting properly. (It began as a conscious experiment - I chose a new phone instead of a new laptop to take to my first year of college.) I’ve been using a bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone since it was introduced with iPhone 4. Of the many things I have to thank you for (that I’ve been experimenting with lately,) this is the most significant, but for reasons not entirely related to just Drafts.
