<font size="-1"><font face="Tahoma">I use ubiquity (one of the projects
Aza is involved in) and a similar natural language based input for
blender may be a cool idea, ie. Hitting a key combo (Ctrl-U for the
sake of arguement) and typing:<br>
<br>
"create cube 2, 3, 2 at 1, 5, -10"<br>
or<br>
"move selection to 5, 4, 3"<br>
or<br>
"move selection by -1, 3, 0"<br>
or<br>
"scale cube* by 1, .5, 1"<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
This could probably end up as a script though and could include most if
not all of Blenders new operators.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Was googling around, and found this new startup co-founded by Aza
(son-of) Raskin.

Entirely search based tools/actions. Even follows our concept "only use
sticky modes while user actively does something".
Their search tool works with holding CapsLock, probably they have a way
to disable it?
Another great post from Aza, it's very close to our work currently:
