Abstract
We present Inky, a command line for shortcut access to
common web tasks. Inky aims to capture the efficiency
benefits of typed commands while mitigating their usability
problems. Inky commands have little or no new syntax to
learn, and the system displays rich visual feedback while
the user is typing, including missing parameters and contextual
information automatically clipped from the target
web site. Inky is an example of a new kind of hybrid between
a command line and a GUI interface. We describe
the design and implementation of two prototypes of this
idea, and report the results of a field study.
