@amit I'm convinced that full support for keyboard shortcuts will make Micro.blog even more attractive to people would be otherwised inclined to join.

If the same buttons for Markdown from the native apps can also be added to the web, then all the better. Aside from anything else, a lot of people on Windows seem to already be comfortable with web-app culture; I know for sure that I am not as sensitive to the downsides of web apps, having used only Windows on PC.
