I've updated Twittereeze to support a global keyboard shortcut. It's currently hardcoded to cmd-F11. Invoking this shortcut will toggle Twitterific's window and automatically set focus accordingly. So you can:
1) if the window is open and in the way, quickly dismiss it with cmd-F11.
2) if you would like to change your status, quickly show it with cmd-F11, type your message right away, hit Enter, then hit cmd-F11 again to close the window.
Very convenient.

Naturally, I'll try to implement a GUI for changing the shortcut eventually.

Credit to the sample code posted at http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?Sys...yboardShortcut ; I might move to Rogue Amoeba's more complete implementation, but this was faster to use.

Oh, and I'm also forcing the text field to always be in focus when the window shows up. I found it to be very annoying that it didn't previously do that.
