I test in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, so I'm constantly doing this set of actions:

- Focus address bar

- Copy URL

- Launch Firefox

- Focus address bar

- Paste URL

- Press Enter

- Launch Safari

- Focus address bar

- Paste URL

- Press Enter

So to be able to make that a sequence of 10 button taps I can do in rapid succession without even looking at the screen or touching the mouse does save a bit of time. It's primarily for web testing, more than text editing.

With Pentadactyl (vim-like plugin) for Firefox, copying a URL is simply pressing the "y" key, and paste+goto URL is "p". I believe Chrome has similar plugins, dunno about Safari.
