One of Flume's unique features, is something we like to call "Hover Shortcuts". These allow incredibly fast exploration of Instagram, by allowing you to perform actions using both hands - one on the keyboard, and the other on a mouse or trackpad.
To activate a Hover Shortcut, simply mouse the mouse cursor over a post (in either Column-View or Grid-View modes), and press one of the following keys:
Keyboard Combination | Explanation |
| Likes the media that is directly underneath the mouse cursor. |
| Displays a comment text area for the media that is directly underneath the mouse cursor. |
| Saves the media that is directly underneath the mouse cursor. |
| Opens a large preview for the media that is directly underneath the mouse cursor. |
You can customise the above shortcuts in Shortcuts Preferences.​
The demo below demonstrates the use of the L
(like) shortcut being used to like multiple items quickly while moving the mouse.
