    I've just had an idea and I think it would be a killer feature... What about adding a shortcut so that on any page you can type ctrl+P (or ctrl+D or whatever other shortcut) and it would present a text field in the middle of the page allowing you to enter the name of the page you want to navigate to. It would work exactly as it works on IntelliJ IDEA (Ctrl+N) so you can type some letters and it'll propose pages. Even better, if the user hits the right arrow key, it would provide some actions for that page: view, edit, rename, delete with view being the default action so ctrl+P + Enter opens the page in view mode and ctrl+P + right arrow + down arrow + Enter opens the page in edit mode, etc. I'm very excited by the idea... WDYT?

Note that this has been implemented by Marta and a demo is available on http://incubator.myxwiki.org
We now need a patch for it from Marta so that we can apply it.

Vincent.. The code is self contained in XWiki.JumpToPage. I've made a slightly different version on the intranet..

It's not working in IE6 as of today. Using ctrl-G opens the window at the very bottom of the page. The suggest list cannot be seen as it's below the page (user needs to scroll to see it). Hitting enter when highlighting one of the list's items doesn't work. Summary: need more work to become usable in IE6.

Done in rev. 19003.

It needs some more testing, especially on IE (6, 7, 8).
