How often are you actually relying on memory of an ID to troubleshoot a problem? I mean sure, if you are scanning visually, it's good to recognize the same ID over and over again, but my ability to do so caps around 4-6 characters. So I just look at the last 4 chars regardless when fast scanning.
I use copy-paste for any time I need to transport IDs between contexts (that isn't just scripted, which is best). Having a copy-paste stack (Alfred, Raycast and others have this feature) is a huge game changer here.
