Well, not a dev here, so my primitive setup is to have an alias in my .bashrc that launches firefox with the prompt added to the Google AI mode, so all I have to do is Super+T (terminal), type 'ai' followed by my query. For laughs, this also allows to bake in response styles:

  query="$*"
  base="Respond like Dr. House, do not hold back the profanities; "
I also have an even shorter alias for '?' using fabric that answers right in the same terminal, that I learned from Mischa Vandenburg:

  echo "$*" | fabric --model gemini-2.5-flash --pattern ask_ai
that one I use my own API key so it costs some small amount per use.
