I used Joey for years for Reddit and it has an incredibly useful navigation feature that would allow you to use arrows to jump through every top level comment.

This app would benefit so much from this feature.

It's already a feature

Bottom 2 arrows when in the comment section

Oh, thanks, I needed an update!

[-] Linus_Torvalds@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I am on 0.48 and it's not there. And the 0.49 beta isn't showing this in the release notes at all.

[-] Koto@lemmy.fmhy.net 5 points 11 months ago

Hey, I'm using 0.49 and to enable this feature, I think you must check the 'show parent comment navigation buttons' box, under the look and feel settings menu.

Thaaaaaanks! 🫶

RIF had the option to collapse all comments by default, so you'd only see the top comments and could expand them if you wanted to go down a thread. I really miss that feature.

I just wish they'd fix the text editor deleting the space before a word as you backspace from the end, merging words together.

Pretty sure they said that was a bug with the aosp keyboard

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

And yet it only happens with Jerboa and not other apps that the AOSP keyboard types in.

I'd read that it was to do with the specific rich text editor that Jerboa uses, and that it was a known problem with anything that uses that RTE.

Jerboa uses Jetpack Compose as toolkit instead traditional Views system that most apps use. The problem lays at core of a textfield component. It affects every app that uses this toolkit. And we can't fix because it would need to be fixed at very low level, we don't have access to nor domain knowledge about.

So, am I right that it's basically Google devs' bug to fix?

Thanks for the link. Looks like the bug was only first discovered in July, issue logged in August, so it's not been that long yet really.

[-] testAccount@lemmy.one 3 points 11 months ago

Discovered in July 2022, I joined in July 2023 where I then pushed the issue upstream

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
