Bookmarks are cool.
Do they stick around when you close and re-open a file?

While configurable keys are good, the example you're showing already
highlights the drawbacks of the approach you (and too many other pieces
of software) are using: Why force users to choose between F3 and Ctrl+K
for the "Move to next find" function, when you could assign the function
to /both/ keys?

(And no, computer games' half-assed approach of providing /two/ key
bindings per function doesn't nail it. I'd love to see a genuine 1:N
mapping, as supported e.g. by Microsoft Word. Don't tell me Microsoft
can create better UIs than you ;))

But of course! My goal is, exit and restart and you are exactly in the 
state you left it.
The part I think is cool is it remembers the docking state and size of 
all of the windows/widgets.

Eclipse's bookmarks can get confused about the line they live on. I 
always gave them a pass on that. But after writing it, it's like a 
single 4 variable formula!
     if (bmLine > cursorLine)
         bmLine += newLineCount-oldLineCount;

I can create M shortcuts/keys and connect them to N functions.

At first I was thinking I need to see an example of a configuration UI. 
But I got something...

How dare you, sir!

I was gonna say, "Well, my goal is to make it work first, and then 
polish it".  but instead I'll go with

Sir! How dare you?

Now I have to do this stupid thing that only half interests me, when I 
would much rather select a block of text and type Ctrl-/ to comment it 
out.  (Or select text and type Tab and have it indent instead of 
replacing the selection with a tab. That's irksome... Stupid program.)

And for Ctrl-/ it made me realize; I never use the menus for 
Copy/Paste/Shift. But I do use the menus to see what features an editor 
supports and what hotkey it is. So I need to add a menu for 
Cut/Copy/Paste. Frowny face because I have to control it (Paste is 
dimmed if the buffer is empty.)

So long as you have a UI for a more sophisticated mapping firmly on the
radar, and are just keeping things simple for the beginning, I'm happy.

I needed a color_map.  Rather than spend 2 minutes typing
	color_map{[0 color rgb<1.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000>]
	          [1 color rgb<0.0000, 1.0000, 0.0000>]

instead I spent several days writing a colormap editor. :)
