Well, actually what I do is copy the command from a text file containing all my frequently used commands, and then paste it onto the terminal. This may seem simple enough to people like U but it might not be so for the majority of the people out there.
Many of U may not agree with me on this, but the reason why Mac OSX and Windoze are popular is that they have a good GUI, and there're many good reasons why people prefer the GUI to the command line.
