Features that are automatically suggested based on what is selected in the model. After selecting qualifying geometry an arrow will appear that can be manipulated to start the suggested command. Suggested commands will be highlighted on the toolbar when qualifying geometry has been selected. If multiple commands are available they can be cycled through using the Tab key until the desired command is selected.
Examples:
- Extrude: Select a sketch region or face of an existing part
- Revolve: Same as extrude but also selecting an edge, line, or mate connector for an axis
- Fillet/Chamfer: Selecting an existing edge of a part
- Sweep: Selecting a face or sketch region and a path
- Loft: Selecting multiple detached faces or sketch regions
- Draft: Selecting multiple faces of an existing part
There are probably more that could be made

It would be nice to have both methods available, but may add to some confusing and feature bloat
Too many options can be worse than not enough options... eh.. well.. for beginners learning at least...
Brings things to the forefront as seen in the picture above. Could be icons like shown with more icons to the right at the location your mouse pointer is at saving hunting through command icons at top of screen. A productivity enhancement for all users and for beginners a quick way in.
What's of value at the moment!
I'd like to see this moved to IR list. Would get my vote.
Clicking a face could potentially mean almost every command on the toolbar.
incliding, mirror plane split fillet chamfer.. etc etc
