Swap J and K Keyboard Shortcuts
I think the K and J shortcuts should be reversed. The k-key on the right seems to cognitively map more to down, and K to up. The current layout seems related to downward being the first motion wanted, and hence on the left. But after the first load, the first list navigation isn't necessarily downward, and that's where the J/K layout feels like it breaks.
I’m optimistic about where this is going

Inappropriate?The J/K keys are similiar to the vi editor. J goes down, K goes up. H left, L to the right.
I see what you are saying though. When I use the arrow keys, my right middle finder is the one that does most of the scrolling.
Later on I'll think about allowing people to map their own keys. -
Inappropriate?-1 I think it would be **very** confusing if both keys were swapped. Being a heavy vi user, I felt right at home when using Tweetlens.
OTOH, maybe a valid enhancement would be letting the user where new tweets should go: on the top, Twitter-like, or on the bottom, IM-like.
