There are some keybindings like shift + letter (for example shift + p and
shift + n move the cursor). So if people want to search and they type a
capitalized P, the cursor starts moving instead of searching. That's why I
decided to use an accelerator. I think it's the best to use C-f by default
as James Cape suggested.

To add the search capability, I've to add an signal and some private
functions. I don't think that'll be a problem with regard to the API
freeze tomorrow.

If anybody has better ideas, please tell. I started hacking on this and
hope to have a first snapshot after the weekend.
