• visual block mode, targeted for 1.0
• !, :! family of commands, targeted for 1.0
• highlight search, targeted for 1.0
• move cursor in input mode, targeted for 1.0
• modelines option, now that there is a :set command
• add more options to the :set command
• better mouse integration

• an undo/redo that works like vim
  This probably requires some NetBeans API work
• :e code completion for open and/or project files
  Probably want different commands, one for open files and the other for general and/or project files. Maybe bring up an open file browser for project files.
• :make
  Need extensions for selected project, single file, project being edited.
• Debug commands
  single step, run until this line, etc. I was thinking of using :x to start a debug command. One "special" command I'd personall like to set up is "tracepoint": this is a breakpoint on the current line that doesn't stop any threads, but prints the current method/linenumber; it could bring up the customize breakpoint dialog with everything setup up so that a would close the dialog; but the caret would be positioned so that you could enter additional info to display
• Ctrl-W window manipulation commands
  jVi is set up for a few these if the platform supports them. I haven't seen a NetBeans API for this type of functionality. I haven't asked yet either.
• clean up interactions with code folding
