[ge-talk] new way for keyboard shortcuts

Lots of people want to use the OS and apps just by using the keyboard.
Some have to. There are several problems though:
1) so many to remember and the shortcuts aren't always intuitive
2) there's a limit to how many shortcuts before you end up having to
hold 3 letters at the same time
3) no visual feedback.

My solution: press control and out pops up an edit field (similar to
what you get if you type / in firefox) and you enter a command and hit
enter.

So you'd hit control, type cut, hit enter and the selected text would be cut.
Another advantage is that you could type page down and not have to
reach all the way to the page down key.
