#4Shame they're rolling out separate Windows 10 desktop and Windows 10 phone Facebook apps. One would think this would have been a great opportunity for a high profile example of how to do a Universal Windows Platform app.

Our computers must think we're absolutely insane. If they could think.

Personally, I like being able to Cmd+tab to commonly-used chat apps. Really hard to have a conversation (while doing other stuff) when you have to Cmd+tab to Chrome, and then find the tab.

Vimium helped me with this - the `T` shortcut opens an omnibar that searches your open tabs for the text you're entering. It's still two-part, but it's keyboard shortcut + text search instead of visually identifying the correct tab and clicking on it.
