This looks pretty nice, I also like the fact that bindings
are easily configurables.
I have a few patches that I'll propose later after more usage.

One thing that I miss there though, as a luser, is editing history.
To me, undo-ing is very handy. I haven't looked
at the data structure yet, and I get that this isn't implemented
by design, but do you recall that would something complex to add?
