Also, perhaps for the docs, a ""search"" command might be helpful, as a companion to ""help""? 

I use ""help"" a lot, but it is less useful when I don't know what I'm looking for. A search command that carries out a full text search of the documentation and finds commands that have a match would be quite useful.

E.g. if I want to find the command to make a plane, but don't know it is called define - typing ""search plane"" would bring up that command and any others mentioning ""plane"". Or alternatively adding ""search"" or ""fulltext"" as a parameter to help would accomplish the same thing I guess.

Granted, I use google for this now, but given the help is integrated into ChimeraX having a search function directly from the command line might be handy. 

Cheers,
Oli
