I forgot to add that it would be nice to be able to place the caret at the
start and end of the file with keystrokes such as CTRL+HOME and CTRL+END.
Holding SHIFT in addition to the other keys would bound the selection from
the caret to the start/end point respectively.

As I will be following up on the whole component keystroke handling area in
PIVOT-638, I will just make a note to include it then.
