It does. Bloody awesome. I'm re-watching this video trying to understand some of the shorthand being used. There's "bang" for exclamation mark; "cap drum" (?) for `cd`. I can't figure out what words he uses to invoke `git clone` at 1:27 but it's incredibly futuristic. I wish my daily driver wasn't a Mac these days =(

It looks like they have a word (or multiple) for each letter of the alphabet. So CD is "change drum", git clone is " guest ice traps space cap look [Ctrl right - autocomplete]", where you can read the commands from the first letters of each word.

Find it counter intuitive, like we have to memorize new constants that a programer defines... But having this with english words like next line or page down or page up, gamechanger.
