For example, you can use commands with parameters to set preferences. Is that what you had in mind? I can't think how else parameters would be useful. I would suggest that we start simple, otherwise there is a good chance that it won't be implemented. Simple search for menu names (and descriptions) would hugely improve ease of use, especially for large programs like Gimp. > [...] The > solution to this problem found in your proposal is a nice feature, and > it could be a good improvement over a complete CLI system for the > Gnome Shell built following the Ubiquity and Quicksilver models. What do you mean by "Gnome shell"? To me it means Nautilus. But that is just one program; why not create a mechanism that works automatically for all Gnome programs? _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
