Pretty close to what you describe is Acme [0] the text editor/shell from Plan 9. It is mouse oriented edit. You can right click on words to search them in file or open text files, directories or compiler errors. I recommend viewing this [1] introduction video.
I miss few things in Acme. A bit more WIMP-y familiarity and a 3 button mouse.
That's why I'm working on experimental text editor inspired by Acme [2].

- kps 10y agoI really like Rob Pike's minimalist principles but somehow dislike most of his implementation choices. I can't be productive in acme due to missing my #3 arm, but I'd kill for structured regular expressions in vim.
