Nightowl question

By JT, 2 August, 2013

Forum

I rarely reply to anything on Twitter, so I don't know how long this has been going on. whenever I try to reply to a tweet in Nightowl, I end up replying to a different one than the tweet I am on. It seems to be the first tweet in the table that is always the one I reply, even if I have interacted with. anyone got any ideas?

Hi, It's counterintuitive

Hi, It's counterintuitive but don't interact with the table. When focus is on the table, the arrow keys move through it without interacting. This stops that odd issue you're having. Also, if you have quicknav on that can be a problem too. ~Ro

twit focus in Night Owl

Hi, when you are in the table, use j to go to the next twit, and k to the previous, when you do this, the VO focus will be on the correct twit, so that replying to and opening links will act on the correct twit. hth.

I never knew you could use J and K to navigate through tweets. This is an awesome thing to know. :-)

Cool

not interacting with the table is the answer - thanks dude. Using J and K is sorta amazing because you don't need to turn QuickNav off to use the up and down arrow keys. now, if I can work out how to stop it showing me the Twitter handle and user name, I'd be in Nightowl heaven. Except I follow a load of junk, so it's just a waste of life!

When you hit the right arrow you will populate that new tweet field wiht the tweet you are on. Don't interact with the table but just up and dow arro wna dhit enter to reply. I find this is the easiest way to use yorufukurou.

In preferences, find "appearance" in the toolbar. There's a pop up menu to select how you want to see people's names. I have mine set to user ID because when I upgraded to Mountain Lion I was suddenly seeing tons of emoji in people's names. Kinda a waste of time to scroll through and hear, "Jane Smith baseball emoji thumbs up sign emoji heart emoji" blah blah. Hope eventually we get an option to turn off emoji in verbosity haha. But I digress.

Hello,
In Nightowl, after searching for a user by typing in their user ID after pressing Command+U, once the timeline appears, is their a way to follow the user with Voiceover?
I cannot seem to find a follow button.

To fix your reply thing never ever hit the right arrow as that prefills the new tweet section wiht the name. Just hit enter.

Take care.
