One of a very few things that bug me about Panic’s Coda code editor is not being able to switch keyboard focus between editor pane and file list pane. It’s especially required when editing files directly on ftp server, where “Open quickly” menu command doesn’t work.

Using the Coda’s Objective-C API I managed to overcome described problem by making a simple plugin that does just one thing: switches keyboard focus between two panes. You can find plugin, and it’s source code, below. Feel free to do anything you want with it.

Tweetology is the name of group of ideas and thoughts about what makes a good iPhone Twitter client. These ideas and thoughts are slowly being integrated and implemented into what will become a brand new iPhone twitter client (as if that wasn’t obvious).

Application is progressing slowly, but steady. Lack of time for doing the actual programming is compensated with having more time to think through the problems and come up with more general and optimized solutions to those problems. Currently, my focus is slowly shifting toward refining and optimizing the user experience and usage patterns and flows.

As the base (mainly twitter engine and cacheing capabilities) is very flexible and more and more bugs are being exterminated, Tweetology already starts to show some of it’s strength’s: lightweight GUI makes using the application very easy and intuitive, optimized engine and cacheing controllers make application pretty fast. I’m exceptionally proud of image loading and cacheing mechanism that will make a lot of difference for people who use Twitter more often.
