Yet Another Good Walkthrough

Thomas, thanks for this. I've done some of these but not all of them. I'm still on my trusty iPhone 7, but I think I'm due for an upgrade soon.

3 finger swipe left keyboard command?

Is there a keyboard command for this?

It is funy and interesting

Thomas, thank you for this podcast. Useful, those effects in the messages I didn’t not know.

Hi Dennis. The three finger swipe Thomas refers to is simply the standard left right scroll gesture, such as you would do on the home screen to move between pages. So if there's a keyboard gesture for that, it'll be the same one.
