twitter

This directory provides Talon voice control integration for the Twitter web application.

Twitter Web Integration

The configuration is contained entirely within twitter.talon.

How It Works

The voice commands defined in this directory are context-aware. They are active only when you are using a web browser and visiting twitter.com, as defined by these context headers:

tag: browser
browser.host: twitter.com

Instead of requiring complex scripting, the voice commands map directly to Twitter's native web keyboard shortcuts. They are divided into two main categories:

  • Navigation Commands: These commands allow you to move around the timeline and jump to different sections of the site. They translate voice commands into sequential key presses. For example, saying "go home" types gh in sequence, while "go notifications" types gn. You can also navigate your timeline chronologically using "next tweet" (j) and "previous tweet" (k).
  • Action Commands: These commands trigger specific interactions. Saying "new tweet" presses n to open the composer, "like message" presses l, and "re tweet" presses t. To send a draft, "send tweet" triggers the ctrl-enter shortcut.
