Investigate slow navigation with arrow interceptors #18

Description

@StarScape

When you use the arrow functions (either by themselves or with shift+arrow), the event seems to fire a little slowly, preventing you from navigating super fast. It doesn't seem super off from other apps, but worth doing some investigation into the typical speeds in editors like Sublime, VSC, and Word.

This isn't an interceptor speed thing, as far as I can tell — the insert interceptor fires and updates the DOM super-fast, so I imagine the browser is rate-limiting the event. Not sure if there is any practical way of getting around that, but it might be an interesting feature to introduce exponential speedup (to a certain limit) while holding down an arrow key. Kind of like a "scrubbing mode" for document navigation.
