Keyword substitution for url (similar to 'this')
Is there a substitution so that I can use the 'this' keyword and also the 'url' keyword? I want to be able to twitter about something on a webpage without having to highlight the text I want to quote and then select the url

These are commonly referred to as "magic words". Unfortunately, at the moment only one magic word can be used at a time, and they all refer to the same text. This is certainly something we're looking to make big improvements on.
In regards to "url" working for the tinyurl command, that's a special case that only applies to that command. I know this is very inconstant, and eventually you'll be able to use "url" (and other magic words) with all commands.

Inappropriate?As an add-on to this, the 'url' keyword works in the tinyurl verb, but not twitter. Why is this?
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Ben Boyle says isgd works for the twitter command. Maybe you should ask him how he does it?
I’m sad
