NuShell wants to combine features and characteristics of a classical shell with modern user interface elements and the web. Autocomplete and automatic help for the commands make using the text based command interface easier than ever. Additionally, commands can provide an intuitive graphical interface. In combination this results in a hybride interface with an ideal ratio between keyboard and mouse usage. Currently NuShell is in a very early stage of development, so please be patient and look for a new version every couple of days. When the framework is mature enough it will be possible for everyone to create custom commands within minutes.
