Comment (by iandunn):

 I also think that hotkeys for navigating through screens could be very
 useful, since it's fundamental to everything, but tedious and slow with a
 mouse and a long list of menu/content items, particularly when you have to
 visit an intermediary screen (e.g., All Posts) in order to bring up the
 desired screen (e.g., a specific post).

 An intent-driven keyboard interface (like Spotlight in OS X, or
 [http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/939 the HUD in Ubuntu]) that
 searches an index of menu items and content could allow users to skip
 intermediary screens entirely, and also make it quicker and easier to find
 what they're looking for.

 There are several plugins in this space [[https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /quick-navigation-interface/ 1], [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jarvis/
 2], [https://wordpress.org/plugins/aladdin/ 3], etc], but I think it's
 worth considering whether it makes sense to have some support for it in
 Core.
