And I think that what CC's /sandbox uses on a Mac
I find myself really missing this feature when I occasionally read a paper book, thinking about clicking the word on the page to get a definition.
It sparks me as odd, because I've had quite a few times where it would generate me a response over multiple messages (since it was hitting its max message length) without any second-guessing or issue.
It wasn't even during the over-capacity event I don't think, and I'm a pro user.
Also I found the UX of Claude to be better for this, especially their Projects feature. I can just put the codebase in the Project's context, and start a new conversation to ask different questions/solve different problems.
The only pain point I have is that it seems to be pretty optimized to only show changes in existing files, not rewriting them in full, which is a bit of a pain to copy-paste into my IDE. I'll see if I can write out a system prompt to force it to generate diff or a similar format that could more easily be applied automatically to my code.
My experience is that at first it was very frustrating. I went from ~80WPM on my macbook keyboard to ~20WPM on the ergodox. After a couple of weeks I was able to write text at a comfortable speed again, but any special character was painfully slow, as I had to consciously think where each character was, and often look it up on my layout. After about 3 months I was back up to 80WPM.
What took a long time as well, was configuring my layout to fit my programming needs, it took me about 6 months to come up with a layout that had everything I needed (you can see it here if you're curious[1]). My recommendation is to do it incrementally, trying with something general at first, then with use seeing what feels right and doesn't.
In the end it was a really good idea, a lot of back pain I had has gone away, and after long typing session I have way less pain in my wrists and hands.

I run it as a cron on my NAS, and the only intereaction I need to have with it is to give it a new 2FA code every ~2-3 months. Highly recommend it

There is a good (albeit a bit old now, as the interface has been overhauled since) quick demo video from VD's creator : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1CBDTgGtOU
