HI Kishore,
I too have an idea similar to this in which I have to use Dropdown box and
readline.
So,Can you give suggestions for how to create the dropdown box in gnome
terminal.
With regards,

I would like to develop an Intellisense feature for the existing linux
command line interface. (it's not the command auto complete)
For example:
when you type '*ls -'* at the prompt, you will get a drop down menu
with
all
available options like *l, a, c, s* etc along with the short
descriptions.
Most commands (posix compliant) have the "--help" which shows the
options with a small explaination for each.
Specific to your example "ls --help" shows the comon options of ls.
I think the OP specifically pointed out that. I guess the OP has in
mind something like the typical dropdowns that appear in yahoo/gmail
when you type in the "To" field.
As for me, I am not into development nowadays, so sorry.
But for dropdowns and all that fancy things you may look at ncurses
library.

Rajagopal
