[Vimperator] suggestions for improvement

hi, folks! It was with great surprise (and a bit of delight) when I
stumbled upon vimperator while doing a search in google for keyboard
remapping. I've been testing out vimperator for a while now, and while
it has certain features that are great (:wqa, HJKL navigation ;)),
some things just aren't "vim-ish" enough for me... ;)

Here are a few suggestions/questions:

- the ability to set (and jump to) marks is great - but how can we
forget our '' (that's 2 single quotes) shortcut/"floating mark"?

- vim allows for a ":b2" instead of having to put a space in between
'b' and '2'. Could we have that as well in vimperator?

- is there any way to get at the location bar conveniently (assuming
'go-=T' as per standard)? Sure, I can do a 'T', but what if I want to
copy, and paste the current url somewhere? I used to be able to do it
conveniently with <C-L>, then <C-c>. 'T', then move mouse, then
right-click, 'Copy' is not obviously mouseless.

- right now with 'go-=s', there is no convenient way to get at the
security information of a web page. Could we implement some sort of
way to do this with vimperator?


thanks,
-jf
