This is a great project! Very cool - thanks for doing this!

I'm also missing the lack of search interface. The other thing is when 
you have the list of commands a-z could you add an alphabet on the top 
and just display "a" by default, then users can click the letter they 
want to display. This would be good in addition to search, I think.

Thanks again!
