Working with columns

Each account is displayed as one column (a vertical pane), side by side.

Screen layout​

Four columns displayed

AreaRole
Left sidebarNavigation (top), account icons (middle), settings ⚙ / language 🌐 / Inbox 📥 / compose ✎ (bottom)
Column headerService icon, back/forward, username, unread badge, hide/delete buttons
Column areaThe account's SNS screen

The active column​

Sidebar navigation and the compose button act on the currently selected "active column". Its header is highlighted with an orange frame; there is always at most one. Click a column (or its header) to switch.

The active column

  • Keyboard: Cmd/Ctrl + a digit (1–9, 0) switches to the corresponding column.

Navigate the active column to Home, Search, Notifications, Messages, Bookmarks, Profile, and so on. Items a service doesn't support are disabled (greyed out) — e.g. mixi2 / Substack are mostly Home and Profile.

Navigation

The compose button​

✎ (Compose) at the bottom of the sidebar opens the active column's empty composer (different from "delivering" a draft — that happens from the Inbox).

Hiding and re-showing​

  • − (Hide) in a column header temporarily removes that column from the screen. The session (login state) is kept; click the sidebar icon to show it again.
  • × (Delete) in the header deletes the account itself (its session data is removed permanently — this cannot be undone).

Hide and re-show

Reordering & scrolling​

  • Drag a column header to reorder columns.
  • When columns don't fit the window, ◀▶ rails appear at the edges to scroll the visible range.
