Is there a GUI Command-line Code reference for Konsole or other terminal emulators?

I believe that many experienced Linux Users still keep accessible references on Command-line Codes. I also believe that they are not the only ones who need those. New users need them so much more but many of them still do not know where to refer to that is why they do not even have an accessible Command-line Code Reference. I am not sure but I think, the man code lists references, but I still believe that a GUI reference will work better.

I suggest a GUI Command-line Reference on Terminal Emulators, if it does not exist yet, which will ask the users what they want to do and will show them the code they need to do the job. For example, there would be a "Navigating the Terminal" option and will list the codes necessary for a user to "navigate" the terminal

Do you mean the commands wich control konsole, or do you mean the basic linux-commands/bash-commands?

Any will do as long as there is a GUI reference. I think, since the new users are the ones who have most difficulty with the command-line, they are the ones who should be helped with the command-line the most and I think GUI solution is the answer.

If the user can just point and click to a GUI command-line code reference, well and good. If the GUI solution can't control the Konsole, it's still okay because copying and pasting from the reference is not much of a job.

I think, the basic linux commands are really the most important things that should be found in a reference, but I also believe that all commands must be available with that reference.

The main point I am trying to state here is that, I think, it would be helpful for users to look nowhere beyond the terminal emulators to know what codes they need to use.

If there is a feasibility problem with this idea or any sort of problem, please tell me. I love suggestions.

Do you think it is feasible to have a GUI code reference?

If it is, what would the nature of that feature be?

I'm just eager to have a feature like it because having a reference nowhere farther than the terminal emulator just seems to sound like an excellent idea.
