What's new in TweetDeck 3.1.3

  • Updated with larger media previews

New in TweetDeck 3.0.2 (Jun 13, 2013)

New in TweetDeck 2.1.0 (Nov 8, 2012)

  • Edit your search columns:
  • Now you can edit your search columns as you add new columns. That means there’s no need to continue adding new search columns as you refine your search to the result set you want. You can edit a single search column for as long as you like and instantly see your changes reflected in results. Simply click on the magnifying glass icon (top right of a search column) to expand the column options and change the search term right there. Hit Enter to submit the changed search and see the results straight away.
  • Set up list columns:
  • Another simple but very effective new feature is the ability to open a list directly by typing its name in the search box. Before, viewing someone else’s list, especially a list you were not subscribed to, was only possible when opening a person’s profile panel and scanning down all their lists. Now all you have to do is type @username/listname into the search box. Instead of returning a search result, TweetDeck recognises you are looking for a list and shows you that list in the list window. From here you can view the recent Tweets from the list and add it as a new column.
  • Expanded Tweets:
  • To round off this update we have also included full support for Photo and Player cards in the Tweet details view, bringing support for more than 2,000 websites to your TweetDeck columns.
  • Keyboard shortcuts:
  • It's a small start, but this release introduces keyboard shortcuts to TweetDeck. Try these shortcuts to get started today.
  • Hit ‘n’ to open the Tweet compose window
  • Hit ‘ctrl+enter’ to send the Tweet
  • Hit ‘esc’ to close the compose window (also works with all other pop-up windows)

New in TweetDeck 1.5.2 (Jul 18, 2012)

  • Browse easily:
  • Now your columns are arranged in one continuous horizontal row, allowing you to navigate smoothly left and right with the scrollbar.
  • You can scroll several columns at a time by clicking the arrows either side of the “Columns” button on the top toolbar. You can also click the “Columns” button to reveal the full list of all the columns in your TweetDeck and access any column immediately.
  • Manage your columns:
  • With the addition of the new Columns button it’s now easier to arrange your columns. With the column drop-down open, simply hover over the “drag” icon to the right of the column name you wish to move, click and drag the column to its new position, then drop.
  • Act on what's happening:
  • A menu icon on every Tweet gives you instant access to more Tweet actions, like “Create link”, and user-related actions, like “Block”. This makes it possible report a user for spam, add an account to a list, delete your own Tweet, and much more, all without having to leave your main column view.
