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
