New features

v1.14.0

New features

New keyboard shortcuts

You can now press the left/right keys to change columns. In the hotkey settings, you can also make it so that the left/right keys tab through the focusable elements instead (similar to Tab and Ctrl-Tab).

Also, you can now press "7" to bring up the "compose toot" modal dialog anywhere in the app. (It's 7 because 1-6 are mapped to the nav bar buttons.)

• feat: press "7" to open compose modal #1507
• feat: left/right keys can change columns or focus #1516
