Well the goal would be to replace the monitor with a menu/toolbar.

Pressing ctrl-alt-2, then typing change ide0-cd0 'path/to/file' without 
being able to use copy/paste and with funky completion is pretty

Being able to use a familiar file browser for this sort of thing would 
go a long way in improving user experience, I think.
