Hi Philip, definitely yes to better keyboard support. I've checked in a patch to highlight the current line so you can see where you are in the file. I wanted to highlight the current diff if the cursor is inside a block, but it's a little tricky to draw without leaving crud behind or exposing (redrawing) the entire textview :(. Next thing to do is probably to have the cursor follow the current diff. It'll take a while! I don't have much free time lately :)
