Ctrl-[1-9] is the hotkey for Firefox (not Alt-[1-9]).
Actually, it depends on the platform, it's Ctrl on Windows and Alt on Linux (and Command on Mac).
Well, learn something new everyday....

+1 for vim keybindings. I noticed JIRA actually has these the other day (the only thing I like about it).
I'd like to counter here that I prefer that sites don't assign vim bindings, or at least allow me to disable them. The reason being that I make extensive use of the vimium Chrome plugin (similar to pentadactyl on Firefox), which maps common vim keys to useful browser shortcuts (j/k to scroll, shift-j/k to switch tabs, f to enable a "type to click links" mode, etc). On 99% of the websites I use, I almost never need to…
Vimium dev here. We actually disabled Vimium on Google Reader because we were getting complaints about how it breaks Reader's own keybindings. If you wish, you can re-enable Vimium by going to the options page; once enabled, its keybindings should take priority over the page's own -- please file a bug if that isn't the case. (However, if you pressed a key that doesn't correspond to a Vimium command, it will automatically pass the keystroke down to the page's own key handlers.)

#73The one command-line feature I want most on Github is `git grep`. I have cloned projects locally solely to be able to do that.

[emphatic] Vimium user here.
Would you accept a pull request to satisfy https://github.com/philc/vimium/issues/61?
Like many of the commenters there, I often only find myself reaching for the mouse while browsing to select and copy text.
If it's something you're open to I'd be willing to give it a shot.

#75Am I the only one who thought this was going to let me run git commands?

yeah me too. then i realized this would do for a web interface
Re: Introducing the Command Bar
#77Cool toy, but how about letting users just search for code in a repo properly?
They're working on it: Check out the search box in the right side of this screenshot from a github blog post a week or so ago:

The post itself mentioned: "Spoiler alert: you might notice a few things in this screenshot that haven’t fully shipped yet."

#78You only miss one thing: * map the '/' symbol to focus:search box.
It looks like ctrl-/ works.
Re: Introducing the Command Bar
#79Re: Introducing the Command Bar
#80Wow, a command-line interface to a website is something I never thought I'd see. My first reaction was that it's a step backwards because the usual benefits of a command line aren't present here (you're usually already using your mouse, commands can't be piped, no shell scripts to run things in sequence)... But I'm intigued -- maybe it's a possible step forwards? The implementation is very well done. I suppose maybe…
Gmail has something similar, try to press G L and then start typing to move to a label. Might require something to be activated from labs though.
