Cool, looks great, thanks for sharing! I like the fact that it presents the command's help message while typing. However I'm missing a way to enter the beginning of a command I know instead of having to search for it in the list. E.g. I'd like to be able to issue "show info" or "debug dev counters" directly from the prompt. And your auto-completion mechanism would likely allow to automatically refine it while I'm typing. This would also possibly permit to access protected commands (those requiring expert mode for example). Cheers, Willy
