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.
