Listen to this post:

Navigating Jira’s UI to find your Task/Epic/Bug is a pain. Even copying the ticket ID is its own quest. You end up switching tabs, losing focus, and forgetting what you were doing.

To skip all that, I use a jira-buddy and a Vim function to hit the Jira API, look up the ticket, and insert the ID directly into my document. I use it to insert the ticket ID for the current work in my commit messages.

I tried without success to figure out which scopes my scoped API token needed. So I just use a personal API token instead.
