I've thought for a while that Left-Ctl-Spacebar and Right-Ctl-Spacebar might make good backward/forward leap key combos. You might need to use 3 key QuasiModes, else, double/triple tapping the shift key to start a QuasiMode might work for the User Front key, Copy ket, Lock key, etc.
However, one still doesn't get the advantage of searching all-open-morphs-in-project, all-text-windows,... whatever, that motivated Jef Raskin to represent the entire user-space as a single, more linear space.
Jon Udell had an interesting blog on the advantages of an open/sharable user-space/desk-space: http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/2005/06/15.html#a1251

Hi all,
Is it possible to implement Jef Raskins idea of "leap" keys in the code editor?
I can't imagine it being very difficult with the proviso that you would have to decide upon suitable metakey usage. Right now Squeak uses all that most platforms can offer so to make use of Jef's ideas would probably mean replacing the current metakey setup rather than just adding to it.
