. Perhaps surprisingly, there's no keyboard shortcut setup for this
purpose.
Adding Shortcuts
However, you can add your own keyboard shortcuts easily, as follows:
1.
Open System Preferences (Apple menu→System Preferences), and then
click the Keyboard icon.
2.
Click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and then, in the list on the left of the
window, select Application Shortcuts (this might be truncated to “Appli-
cation Shor...”).
3.
Click the plus button beneath the list on the right. In the dialog box that
appears, ensure All Applications is visible in the Application drop-down
list.
4.
In the Menu Title field, type either
TWITTER
or
FACEBOOK
, ensuring that you
type them exactly as printed here.
5.
Click in the Keyboard Shortcut box, and then type the actual keyboard
shortcut you'd like to use to activate Twitter or Facebook. Because different
apps have used up nearly all the obvious keyboard shortcut combinations,
it's best if you use all three modifier keys (
CONTROL
,
OPTION
, and
COMMAND
)
plus either
T
for Twitter or
F
for Facebook. So, for a Twitter shortcut, you
would press
CONTROL
+
OPTION
+
COMMAND
+
T
. For Facebook, you'd press
CONTROL
+
OPTION
+
COMMAND
+
F
.
