When you press Shift+F6 from within a controller or view file the IDE attempts to run the action in which you placed the
cursor. If you are using RESTful routes or the route requires data, the browser displays an error message such as
Couldn’t find Recipe with ID=show. When this happens, you must rewrite the URL. For example, you would change
http://localhost:3000/recipies/show to http://localhost:3000/recipies/1.

There are all sorts of "smarts" the IDE could try to use to improve
the situation, but I'm not sure if it is worth the effort. The routes
can be introspected to see what (if any) dynamic content they require,
as per the "routes" rake task.

Perhaps the IDE could use simple name association and if the action
name matches one of the default RESTful names assume the URL format of
that Rest Action and inject a default index value or prompt for the
record, or just load the index action if some sort of dynamic content
is required in the URL.

It looks like the algorithm which computes an automatic URL for the browser from the controller will need to be
enhanced; the old algorithm predicted what the default routes setup would do. It sounds like we need to make it a bit
smarter now.
