This might be possible from the technical perspective, but I don't
think
that "up" and "down" are good keys for it.
"left" "right" maybe?
I was thinking that "up" and "down" are pretty overloaded already -- infact all the arrow keys are. So something like "o" and "p" might work better, or something with a modifier. I think we're going to have to start requiring second keyboards ;)
Unfortunately it is pretty much a full replacement today. Plus with serializing everything into files, it really isn't high performance. I'm not saying it's impossible with enough hardware, but I don't think using a script will work for you today.
This approach might be interesting for a proof of concept, but this really sounds like something more geared for the DOM-based embedded scripting approach.
Yes, but C++ works too. :) Implementing an effect in C++ is also pretty easy (if you know C++) as the interface is already well defined. I hope that we can get loadable C++ extensions working someday also.
