The S,D shortcuts work for me, but I can't get J or K to do anything? Some UX feedback on what is valid at the current time may be useful. One problem with structural/projection editors is it's not as clear what is a valid operation in the current state.

There's some existing work in this area you might find interesting as well:

Thanks. Just checked and j/k are actually not implemented yet, so that explains that!
