13 years ago Ah it seems this functionality is already there and I missed it. The TwitterBar home page says that you can type custom text into the address bar.
Sorry. I just noted the behaviour I saw in the options window only.

When tweeting a link from the address bar, add an option allowing the user to add custom text per tweet complementing the current approach of standard text for every tweets (default "Currently browsing:").
Possible solution: a standard Javascript OK/Cancel dialogue box opens after clicking the TwitterBar icon where the user adds text to be added along with the tweeted link. The dialogue should check that the tweet does not exceed the specified character length and, if it does, gives an alert to that effect with the option to either cancel the tweet or try again (keeping the previously entered text). Alternatively, simply prevent the ability to type more characters than the allowed limit into the dialogue box.
If Javascript limitations make the above solution impossible/impractical, consider an interstitial web page offering the same functionality.
Additional options: add text before or after URL.
Thanks.
