Me too ;-). I'm going to start implementing it.

Hmm, it really seems to be more default to have Ctrl-(Shift-)G for Find
Next/Previous. I didn't know that and until now only saw F3/Shift-F3.
We could change it if Nick will agree.

Oh please not. Switching between matching braces is nice but at least I
use it very rare. But I use duplicating lines/selection very very often
and I assume I get pain in my fingers if we change Duplicate to
Shift-Alt-C ;-).

Will be done (only need to add the default keybinding).

Shift-Alt-L is currently used a "Line Delete" by Scintilla, but I
suggest to remove the Line Delete feature (because of probably rare
usage) and use Shift-Alt-L for select line.

No problem, just needs to be implemented. Could paragraph defined in
some way? To avoid further discussions (;-)) we should use a common way
of defining a paragraph(start and end). Do you know what I mean?

Hmm, nice idea.
