Search is a very fast method of navigation when your editors search doesn't suck. Watch an experienced emacs or vim user sometime. I can't say much about other systems but I did once spend a day working with only emacsspeak, the audio interface to emacs. With emacsspeak you use the normal emacs movement commands to move by char, word, sentence paragraph etc and it will read out the unit you've moved in, it kind of let's you scan through a document. Also, experienced users have the speech turned up really fast, if you google it you can probably find a recording...

I do use vim on a daily basis for all my remote editing needs. Just did not think of how useful all short-hands are for blind people. Thanks for mentioning it.
