I'm very excited about fixing wikis, and I'm really impressed to see that OP has some very similar ideas about it. Because of this, I found it worthwhile to burn 1-2 hours to de-minify his Javascript, which mostly required figuring out what all his inlined JS libs are. https://gist.github.com/4321959 To save you a click, here are the JS files he uses: https://github.com/EightMedia/hammer.js/blob/master/jquery.h... http://code.google.com/p/rangyinputs/source/browse/trunk/jqu... https://github.com/jeresig/jquery.hotkeys/blob/master/jquery... https://github.com/EightMedia/hammer.js/blob/master/hammer.j...

Hmm. Binds all events to `document`, which means that if you type something in a text field, it'll still trigger the event. (One of the TODOs is "Make behavior with INPUT / SELECT / TEXTAREA configurable.) Thing is, jQuery Hotkeys (https://github.com/jeresig/jquery.hotkeys) is more versatile (since you can bind events to any element), works under a wider range of browsers, and is nearly as lightweight (if you already depend on jQuery). Though, I do like the hipness of using "⌥" and "⌘" instead of "alt" and "meta". I might make a fork of jQuery Hotkeys just for that.
