== Summary ==
The GCLI is a Graphical Command Line Interface (GCLI). Command lines are fast and powerful, which you may see referred but they're also opaque and ugly due to as "Cockpit" at times, is intended as a way for users reliance on technology from the 70's. GCLI wants command lines to be discoverable and beautiful in addition to quickly navigate being fast and control the developer tools from the keyboardpowerful. The GCLI commands are just JavaScript so it is designed easy to make extend. GCLI was originally part of the available commands easily discoverable Bespin/Skywriter/Ace project (and easy was previously known as Cockpit). It is usable in a variety of situations. This project aims to correctly run integrate GCLI with the right parametersWeb Console. Unlike The Web Console will be enhanced so that it can run JavaScript either using the current 'pure JavaScript command lines provided by existing ' syntax or the simpler GCLI way of entering commands. As part of developer tools, GCLI will enable developers to access a wide range of development and diagnosis tools without a cluttered interface. It will help users enter the correct parameters quickly and without reference to manuals. Current web developer tools like Firebug and the Web ConsoleWebkit Inspector have command lines, the GCLI provides commands that however they are faster to typelargely unused for user interaction because they insist on a pure JavaScript syntax.
Ultimately, the GCLI is an attempt to provide easy keyboard control to a diverse and feature-rich set of tools. If you try to figure out how to control one of the traditional web developer tools with the keyboard, you'll see what the current approach lacks.
