dictionary dream (was [Re: finding the name of the displayed card of stack foo?] )

[Jacques Hausser]

Yes, that's a problem when intuition doesn't correspond to the index of the dictionary… it would be interesting to develop a "maybe you're thinking of…" algorithm for the dictionary ( without  clogging the language with synonyms), for example by redirecting toward "real" commands such searches as "fill field "xxx" with…", "display myText in field…", "erase line 1 of field "xxx" ", and so on. It could be an online process contributed by the users: I was trying to find: (intuitive command) and finally discovered it was: (existing command).
Unfortunately that's far, far over my technical competences to start something like that. It's probably a big overlap with "openLanguage" anyway.
