Already available in the current SVN version. There are Back and
Forward buttons in the toolbar as well as two keyboard shortcuts to do
this.

Probably will be implemented, I also like this feature ;-).

Yes, just open the preferences dialog, choose the Keybindings tab and
change "Switch to Search Bar". Unfortunately Ctrl-F is still shown for
Search->Find because this is the GTK default. But overriding just
works.

Will be fixed.

The description is completely unused at the moment. No way to get any
use of it.
If you are start to type a function name you should get a completion
list for known functions according to the already typed name. The
argument list is shown as a calltip once you type a '(' after a
function name or when you press the keyboard shortcut to show a calltip
(Ctrl-Shift-Space by default).
I just fixed a little bug which prevented showing the calltip in PHP
files when typed a '(' (SVN r1681).

Enrico
