The Ctrl+Shift+[1-9] keybindings (the functionality specifically) seem
interesting, though the vast majority of the 'press key combo X to
create a new node [at the same level after all children, at the same
level if there are no children, as a new child at the start of the
children, as a new child at the end of the children, etc.]' is fairly
unintuitive, especially when you can "create a child node" with the 'tab'
key in most editors.

I'm going to have to look into folding details again at some point.
