The direction of Ctrl-G "grab next spot" depends on if Ctrl-V was used to reverse the direction. I think that's bad UI design - it should be possible to go forward or backwards without having to check that state. (And the second of latency of the display update after Ctrl-V isn't helping either.)

How about removing the toggle and making Ctrl-G always go backwards and Ctrl-V always go forward? The keys are neatly just next to each other so this would be easy to memorize.

Or perhaps something like Ctrl-Up Ctrl-Down (or Shift-*) should be used, if these are available via ncurses and common terminals.
