If only! Example: me, and others like me. I too use the command
line as much as I can; but my memory is stuffed with verbiage already.
Very few commands stay current enough to do any good.
Another option is indicated, and fortunately exists. Mental
picture memory seems (thanks be!) to occupy a different register. (Even
so, I keep panels on all four sides, and use spatial memory to find the
one I want.)
Nor am I a lone and neglectable case: there are more on every list
and forum I watch, not because of choice.
