Linux commands as a keyboard language

I often use the Terminal emulator to log in to servers at the office. I would love if I could set the keyboard language to "Linux" so it would predict which commands I type.

Could I make a dictionary myself? A few pointers on how to start would be appreciated. Of course, I would share the results.

Kind regards, Martin

Neat idea, should be doable IMHO :)

Maybe "Shell" rather than "Linux". You're typing shell commands afterall.

Shouldn't you already be able to use "tab completion" to achieve this effect? (As long as you're using a shell like Bash...)

we need properly working bash-completion and ctrl+r does reverse search on the history, there is no need to have fingerterm with wordprediction when you actually know how to use your shell, fingerterm is the most advanced mobilephone terminal program I have used so far and will be more than happy to have it on a tablet soon!
