Personally, I want a smarter editor with more precision and less typing, even if it's difficult to learn. Many developers spend a couple thousand hours a year in an editor.
The editor should be a precise tool.
For example, AceJump for smart navigation can be found in several editors.

Ideally, we would augment the keyboard with eye-tracking for navigation, Leap Motion hand tracking, and voice programming:

- mondoshawan 10y agoEye-tracking is actually rarely what you really want. The problem is that it tends to cause severe eye strain in a short amount of time as you manually take control of your eyes and overtense your muscles. Try visually typing out a sentence on a keyboard by looking at the keys in sequence as a demonstration. Your eyes naturally will want to be imprecise and move away from the points you care about, which will cause you to fight the tendency to saccade, creating both visual disturbances and muscle fatigue. Eyes are meant for looking, not pointing. :-)
