Funny enough - navigate between apps, targeted control of where I want to land in particular app/window etc.

I’m a dinosaur and still read the code that my ai has written and do a pass with my own eyes of other people PRs. Saying and landing precisely in things like “open this PR in VSCode”. Does it require many actions? No. Would it reduce friction? Hell yea. Doing all that while the ide (example, again) will suddenly decide to rebuild the indexes or run extension updates etc is breaking the flow. Being able to jump into fully loaded and prepared place that is ready to go - it would be very good.

I will admit. First it started with the need to use like 2 ides in everyday work (there was a time at Google when IDEA was defunded and eclipse was sole supported Java ide, but I hated eclipse wholeheartedly and used it only for debugging), and now with ai coding I really feel how my fluency with ides is degrading day after day. I remember myself even 5 years ago (and more so 10-15) - I, somehow, much more rely on mouse or things like “find action/command palette” than I did in past.
