Tangentially, has an alternative UI been considered such as something based on ido? I mention this merely because building on something standard is probably going to be less work and more familiar to users. The other day I was thinking that if no "jumps" are configured, and the user has ido mode on, selecting among all saved searches with ido would be a natural thing for 'j' to do. Some users (probably me) may then never bother to set up shortcut keys.
