The reason I don't want to use an actual FTP application is that I
don't want to incessantly switch between the editor and the
ftp-application. I just want to hit a shortcut key to upload the
document I'm currently editing and that's it. Often times, I have many
documents open at once, which reside in different directories. If I
used a separate FTP-application, not only would I have to switch to
it, but I'd also have to traverse to the right directory, on both the
server and the client, and then upload the file in question -- instead
of just hitting a keyboard shortcut in the editor and that's it.

The interarchy feature you mention sounds pretty nice, and in fact
I'll download Interarchy right now, because it does sound sweet, but
having it integrated with the editor would be even better. By the way,
something like that isn't possible with Transmit (which I currently
use), right?

Thanks for the tip on Interarchy, but the feature request still stands.  ;-)
