I can confirm Nova integration works with a physical keyboard. Also, if you use one of these, you would just be able to use a standard USB keyboard.

Hi. We actually used to have predictions but then removed them. It's an interesting topic actually. For years I was all about the "predict what the user wants" features. In prior jobs I built a lot of the features. But the analytics data consistently showed people didn't use the features.

I never understood why until I read The Design of Everyday Things. In it, Don Norman goes through how people's brains react to different design decisions. One core concept is that brains are almost always wanting to run on auto-pilot and not consciously processing things. Anytime you cause the brain to think it creates stress responses. That sounds obvious but when applied to design it turns out that a single unexpected result creates a much larger impact than a positive result.

When you talk about predictive features, they are often producing wrong and unexpected results. For each time we guess correctly that you want your music app because you might be at the Gym, we're probably going to be wrong 5 times.

Over time I've switched my POV to "build simple and consistent features that give users control". I might be wrong, people ask for predictive features all the time, but the analytics tend to show the simple approach of "rank by last used" is used more.
