I am blind and can't use a mouse. I would be thrilled to have a hotkey to retweet things, something similar to the hotkey I can use to write a new tweet. Right now it takes me several keystrokes to get my screenreader program to click the menu and find the retweet button. I agree with the person who asked for expansion of TinyURLs. I can't hover a mouse over the preview links, and it would be great to be able to tell where the link will take me. Maybe it could be a toggle option as an alternative to the preview links. Thanks for making such a cool app and for sharing it with the Twitterverse. :) I love the keyboard support in TwInbox. I am blind and can’t use a mouse.

Sort of what Troy's Twitter Script for Greasemonkey does with the webfeed.

Tue, 05 May 2009 15:42:26 +0000 http://blog.techhit.com/?p=130#comment-31 Two suggestions: 1. Add a stop follow button - sometimes I realize I just don't want to listen to someone anymore and don't feel like logging into the website just to drop them. 2. Add a link in the View menu for the OutTwit toolbar, every once in a while it just disappears - can't figure out how to get it restarted. Two suggestions:

1. Add a stop follow button – sometimes I realize I just don’t want to listen to someone anymore and don’t feel like logging into the website just to drop them.

2. Add a link in the View menu for the OutTwit toolbar, every once in a while it just disappears – can’t figure out how to get it restarted.

We can't install software at work, but it would be great to be able to use OutTwit at work. Probably not possible, but a portable version would be nice.

OutTwit fully supports posting UTF8 characters. As far as typing them in, we recommend using Microsoft Character Map application. Do you have an example of an app that has this CharacterMap-type functionality built-in? Mojorific – thanks for your suggestion. OutTwit fully supports posting UTF8 characters.
