I agree with bob

No normal cursor movements so typing/Cursor up,down,left,right/Page down or up.

The most importand one that i want is F3, i use that a lot
select a method and press F3 if then that method is inside the same class
i never can get back to the cursor position before it. (as i can if the method
is in another class With CTRL-F6

And if i click on the outline view to go to another method or innerclass
then that should also be recorder as a history move.
