I just added some node navigation shortcuts in
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/25299 . I think they're cool
so thought I'd describe them here:

When a way node is selected, "," (aka "<") moves down one node, while
"." (aka ">") goes up a node. If you reach the end of the way, you
loop around.
When you cycle ways (using "/"), the node you had selected before, if
any, is remembered.
Pressing "," or "." (they're not distinguished) while on a way goes
back to selecting a way node. If there was a previously remembered way
node, that's the one that gets selected. Otherwise, it's index 0.

What all this means is that you can navigate from any node or way to
any other connected node or way entirely by keyboard: < and > while on
a way, / to change ways at a junction. It's slightly clunky (mainly
because you can't really tell which way is "up" or "down" for a given
way until you try), but it works well enough to be useful.
