Find anything
On a big screen
On a wide screen Twos spreads out, rather than showing the phone layout larger.
What appears
A persistent sidebar with your lists and navigation, instead of a menu you open. Toggle it with ⌘\.
List tabs, so several lists can be open at once and switched between without navigating.
A right-hand panel that can hold chat, a list, a timeline, or the outline of the list you are in, so you can work against two things at once.
The panel
| Action | Mac | Windows and Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Toggle side panel | ⌘⌥\ | Ctrl+Alt+\ |
| Open chat panel | ⌘⇧⌥C | Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C |
| Open timeline panel | ⌘⇧⌥T | Ctrl+Shift+Alt+T |
| Open list panel | ⌘⇧⌥L | Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L |
| Open outline panel | ⌘⇧⌥U | Ctrl+Shift+Alt+U |
Outline lists the headings and subheadings of the list in view, and clicking one jumps to it. Its tab only appears when that list has headings. See headings.
Pressing the chord for the mode that is already open closes the panel, so each one is a toggle rather than a one-way door.
The most useful pairing is a list on the left and chat on the right, so you can ask about what you are looking at. See chat with Twos.
Going further
Opening a list in the panel keeps your place. ⇧ + click puts a linked list beside the current one rather than navigating away, which is what makes following a mention non-destructive.
Panels are resizable, and the width is remembered.
Full width is a setting. Settings Appearance & accessibility Full width decides whether content stretches across a very wide window or stays in a readable column. On a large monitor the column is usually better.
Settings that change this
- Settings Appearance & accessibility Full width stretches content to the window width.
- Settings Appearance & accessibility Keep header visible keeps the header pinned while scrolling.
Tips
- Two panels is the useful maximum. Three columns of your own writing is harder to read, not easier.
- On an iPad with a keyboard, every desktop shortcut works. It is the desktop layout, not the phone one.
