Eagle CAD had this wonderful textbox, where you could type a command like "MOVE IC1", "DUP IC1", etc.
This made for a nice UX, because I did not need to remember keyboard shortcuts or move my mouse cursor.
Does something like this exist for KiCad as well? Yes, I do know, that there's Python skripting available, but I want something directly reachable from the main UI in eeschema and pcbnew for every days tasks.
