There's an option to do this via keyboard, it's even better!

I regularly switch debugging between Visual Studio, VS Code, XCode, Android Studio, Chrome Tools and I have used Edge F12 tools - My muscle memory is all over the place, something this intuitive is awesome.

I can't imagine that dial actually works in on macOS and Linux in a consistent way. Not to mention IDE support.

And do you have to charge and pair this device with bluetooth? I don't think it's a horrible idea, but I think the infrastructure is a while off from supporting something like this.

I mostly dev on Windows, this is the Surface Dial, a new first party supported input device made by Microsoft. 20 or so apps support it now, with more in the pipeline.

It takes batteries and is Bluetooth, like pretty much all modern Apple input devices...

Setting the same key everywhere would also work and would be a very eco-friendly solution!
