Description

Mac user here: I'd like there to be a menu item to open a dialog to subscribe to someone. Currently that functionality (as far as I can tell) is hidden in the search interface of the app, i.e. I input the url I found on the web there, open their profile and hit subscribe from there.

Ideally I'd like something like '⌘-S' to open a dialog box where I can input any Mastadon URL of a profile and be done with it. Actually I'm not sure if command-s is the right shortcut for that, but there is probably some kind of standard key that other clients are using - I just don't know what it is.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing search-interface flow for opening a profile and subscribing, then inspect how the app defines menu entries and keyboard shortcuts. Done means a menu action opens a dialog that accepts a Mastodon profile URL and completes the subscription flow; the shortcut still needs a project-appropriate choice.
