Not sure

It looks like a nice idea, but then again, ... why replace already efficient shortcuts by something else? Like C^w for "delete the last word" (as known from Emacs, vi, bash, Mozilla and probably others).

I'd like to see something like this combined with vi or so. But I probably just don't know how to define the right macros in vi :-).

Also, I'd already be happy if there were a HIG-compatible GNOME version of vi... but now I'm just rambling.
