Hello, I think we all want a keyboard combo to send a Tweet.

I like the way Apple Mail works. They keyboard combo to send an email message that you have written is "shift+command+D".

That is more of a standard key combo, but I don't know if everyone would liek this. I too dont like to click on the post button.

Today I am keen on sharing all my ideas and thinks again that I have tried to put into Tweetr.

I have to suggest a few changes to this recommendation because there are some issues with the API.

1. Auto Complete for any message starting with "@" or "d "
2. Since the get followers API only shows top 100 (it might have changed since I last looked). Tweetie might want to track all names of the people that you has appeared in the timeline, because you will reply to anyone you see in your main timeline. (well 99% of the time).

Thanks again. John.

Something I have done on Tweetr (my twitter client) is that when you paste a URL it AUTOMATICALLY shortens it.

This design pattern works like this.

1. Paste URL, if it has http (then find this URL and shorten it with the selected service.
2. Because this is asynchronies the user can cancel or reverse the shortening by pressing "command+z" (you need a visual element to say this)
3. Shortening should use the default service select in the drop down.

OR. Simply "command+option+v" to paste a URL and auto shorten it?

Thanks guys, but am pretty amazed at the quality of Tweetie.

John.

I will look at adding that in a future version. Thanks a lot for your feedback. John.
