Re: [orca-list] Twitter: Curious of your pkg preferences

Hi Chris!

I find the feature set of twitux a bit limited, but the display is very 
accessible.  FYI, you do not have to compose replies as you describe 
below.  It's enough to hit 'space' on the tweet to which you want to 
reply.  Your cursor will be placed at the end of the line in a new tweet 
box, with the '@user:' already filled in.  When done composing any 
tweet, use 'alt+s' to send.
