Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

  • Please add F3 key to find next result, as it's very common
  • alt + mouse selection should do block (column) selection
  • ctrl+G should goto line (not bring up help menu)
  • ctrl+H could bring up help menu, or better replace menu
  • ctrl+End should jump to end of file, same for home, currently ignores ctrl
