I like it, but here's one big issue: Using ! as the command char is a pain. It's two combined keystrokes to produce that character. If you used a dot (.) or a space ( ) as the command char, you would reduce the overhead of entering a command by at least 100 %.
If you could allow the user to specify the command char, it would be awesome. Great work, though!
You should definitely make this configurable. I used to use hit a hint (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1341), but found it would sometimes capture _all_ presses of the spacebar/ctrl key/whatever you configured. This made it practically impossible to enter text on some websites. It started happening more and more often, which meant I ended up turning HaH off.
GleeBox looks great. Echoing another posters comments, the mouse-centric navigation of the web really gets to me. Anything that lessons mouse usage gets my vote!
Thanks for the feedback, will toy with the idea of custom modifiers. We experimented with a couple of other options before choosing !, it just felt right in combination with the other modifiers.

Thanks! Makes sense to avoid multiple keystrokes wherever possible. Maybe in a future version we could do this.
