Re: [orca-list] twitter app with orca

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
RT and reply buttons do also have keyboard shortcuts.
When inside the list of tweets press the letter r to initiate a reply 
dialog.
Press letter t two times in a quick succession to retweet a tweet which 
is currently focused in a grid view.
It has other shortcut keys like standard ctrl+q to quit the app and 
ctrl+numbers on the upper row to switch views e.g. home, mentions, DM's etc.

Greetings

Peter
