TODO/Ideas:

• pack left column in timeline view
• allow scrolling of toot contents if they don't fit the screen, perhaps using pageup/pagedown
• consider adding semi-automated error reporting when viewing an exception, something along the lines of "press T to submit a ticket", which would link to a pre-filled issue submit page.
• show new toots, some ideas:
  • R to reload/refresh timeline
  • streaming new toots? not sold on the idea
  • go up on first toot to fetch any newer ones, and prepend them?
• Switch timeline to top/bottom layout for narrow views.
• Think about how to show media
  • download media and use local image viewer?
  • convert to ascii art?
• interaction with clipboard - how to copy a status to clipboard?
• Show notifications
• Status source
  • shortcut to copy source
  • syntax highlighting?
• reblog
  • show author in status list, not person who reblogged
  • "v" should open the reblogged status, status.url is empty for the reblog
• overlays
  • stack overlays instead of having one?
  • current bug: press U G Q Q - second Q closes the app instead of closing the overlay

Questions:

• is it possible to make a span a urwid.Text selectable? e.g. for urls and hashtags
