A comment on the idea "Hide dock icon" in atebits:

This isn't a fix, it's a hack and it'll break across upgrades. – Graham Ballantyne, on April 20, 2009 21:35

I wouldn't mind so much if the global New Tweet shortcut didn't bring the entire app to the foreground. It'd be much nicer if there were an independent panel like the quick entry panel in OmniFocus.

@Kevin: OK, tell me how to follow a link with a keyboard shortcut. It's → in Twitterrific. – Graham Ballantyne, on April 20, 2009 21:32

A comment on the idea "Mark all as read-button" in atebits:

@George: this isn't what we're asking for. You still have to manually tap through each tweet to mark it as read. We want a shortcut to mark everything as read. This is useful when you have more than one computer -- e.g. I'm using my laptop for a few hours. When I come back to the iMac, I want to mark everything as read because I've already read it on the laptop. Twitterrific does this (CMD-K). – Graham Ballantyne, on April 20, 2009 16:42

I'd really like this too. It's one thing that keeps me going back to Twitterrific. Also, it's the only way that the 'dim read tweets' option makes sense to me -- do people really click on every tweet in an expanded list to mark them as read?

Searches count against API usage, don't they? If so, they have to be associated with an account.

Twitterrific's filtering is great. I'm sure you guys can implement it with a slick UI (right-click a word, "Filter...")

Showing only the new tweet window when Tweetie is in the background would be awesome.

Graham Ballantyne replied on April 20, 2009 16:09 to the question "Will Tweetie support right-arrow link opening?" in atebits:

Tweetie needs some kind of keyboard shortcut for following URLs; otherwise, it's impossible to use with the keyboard only.

Graham Ballantyne marked one of EagerEyes' replies in atebits as useful. EagerEyes replied to the idea "Automatically expand (shortened) URLs". Graham Ballantyne and 13 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Graham Ballantyne replied on April 20, 2009 16:04 to the idea "Option to manually set how often Tweetie (for Mac) should check for new Tweets." in atebits:

It would be great if you could set refresh times individually for multiple accounts, as well (and perhaps even seperately for timeline, @replies & DMs). I have a work status update account and I don't really care about the timeline (refresh manually) but do care about @s and DMs.

I'm not sure how "Tweetie's menu bar is where all it's strength is". You've got keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything in the menu bar. I've managed to use Twitterrific since it came out without a menu bar and suffered no ill effects.

I know you have a strong feeling of the "right" way, but please give those of us who want it an option. Make it a hidden defaults write preference if you must.
