   It would be nice to be able to easily set the Tweet Prefix for instance to the main category used for the post: %c or something could be entered then. Unfortunately now I have to hack the core code for it which makes it not upgrade-supported anymore. Would be a nice feature :-)

   In the meanwhile I wrote a short hook which should do the case I think.. you have to set the tweet prefix to {category} and put the code somewhere in your theme (functions.php for instance).

   function twitter_category_prefix($tweet = FALSE, $post = FALSE) {
   	$replace_str = '{category}';
   
   	if($tweet && $post && isset($post->ID) && strpos($tweet->tw_text, $replace_str) !== FALSE) {
   		// Find categories for this post
   		$categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
   		if(count($categories) > 0) {
   			// Replace first category name in tweet text
   			$tweet->tw_text = str_replace($replace_str, $categories[0]->name, $tweet->tw_text);
   			return $tweet;
   		}
   	}
   	else {
   		return $tweet;
   	}
   }
   add_filter('aktt_do_blog_post_tweet', 'twitter_category_prefix', $priority = 10, $amount_of_args = 2);
