Joe Walker has been building a great "modern command line" for developer
tools. You can see it right now in Nightly by setting devtools.gcli.enable
to true in about:config.

When you do so, you'll see the Web Console's JavaScript command line change
to a tool-oriented command line (which means: designed to be very quick to
type). You can still run JavaScript by hitting { (curly brace)

This has the potential to be an amazing feature... but it needs commands. I
started a wiki page:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/DevTools/ThinkingInCommands

I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts about the command line feature
and the kinds of commands they'd like to see. Bugs with patches for
commands would be cool, too :)

Kevin
