little productivity thing for linux that i would like: terminal integration of the XDG (?) "Recent" folder. make it an actual Folder ~/Recent with links to the files, or a FUSE fs. i often have to integrate console and desktop tools and this would make it less painful.
also would be nice to have a little more mouse interactivity integration in terminals. when i type `ls`, give me an icon next to each result that has a context menu or lets me drag that file handle to another app, or copy the path / open with. i.e. make a hybrid of file explorer and terminal.
a DE on linux could really embrace and amplify the fact that linux people have to use the terminal a lot. instead of trying to hide that and emulate windows or mac os, integrate this duality really well.
