Keyboard shortcut to switch between topics #1448

Description

@solidfox

Feature Description

Add a keyboard shortcut to move to the next/previous topic in a topic-enabled chat (forum groups and topic-enabled bot DMs) without using the mouse.

Motivation

Telegram for macOS has shortcuts to move between chats (⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓) and folders (⌘1–9), but nothing to change topic once you are inside a forum chat. Switching topics currently requires clicking the topic list. That makes keyboard-only use of topic-heavy chats (including bot DMs with many topics) slow.

Related but not the same:

Proposed Solution

  • Next topic / previous topic bindings (user-remappable via Settings → General → Keyboard Shortcuts)
  • Suggested defaults: ⌥⌘← / ⌥⌘→, or ⌥⌘[ / ⌥⌘]
  • Operate on the current chat’s topic list (pinned first, then recency)
  • Work in both forum groups and topic-enabled private chats

Alternatives Considered

Additional Context

Native Telegram for Mac 12.x. Confirmed against the published shortcut list (TelegramSwift wiki): chat, folder, and search shortcuts exist; topic switch does not.
