Speedy Tweeting

In a previous post I'd discussed the efficacy of keyboard shortcuts for Gmail.  Well, Twitter has them as well, which I discovered just now after mashing some keys, accidentally.  Like in Gmail, pressing '?' on your keyboard conviently diplays them in a pop-up menu.  Many of the other commands use the same keys as Gmail.  Here's what the menu looks like:



The Gmail ones might be more time saving, since Gmail controls are more complicated, but if you use Twitter or Gmail even semi-frequently, it's very worthwhile to learn the commands.  Now I wonder what other web-applications I'm using have keyboard navigation?

Brief aside: It looks like I'll have to postpone learning Emacs until I'm done with my software engineering course.  Eclipse is mandatory for now, but that's cool.
