TwitVim 0.2.18

TwitVim is a Twitter client for Vim. TwitVim is a Vim plugin that allows you to post to Twitter and view Twitter timelines.

Developer comments

It is an enhancement of the vimscript created by Travis Jeffery. Credit goes to Travis for the original script concept and implementation.

Usage:

:PosttoTwitter - This command will prompt you for a message to send to Twitter.
:CPosttoTwitter - This command posts the current line in the current buffer to Twitter.
:BPosttoTwitter - This command posts the current buffer to Twitter.

Alt-T - In Visual select mode, the Alt-T key posts the selected text to Twitter. (use Ctrl-T instead if menu bar is enabled)
NOTE: The T mapping was changed to Alt-T to avoid overriding the T search command.
