+1 for keyboard only control, the whole concept makes no sense without that.

However, the issues with finding the "insert manual brake..." command 
may be because in this instance it is "break" not "brake"
That highlights another issue though. What happens when the user 
misspells words? should we use a spell-checker to guess possible 
alternatives to the words used?
The trouble here is that brake is spelt correctly, it is just the wrong 
word.

Does anyone know if the HUD uses Levenshtein distance?
If so I would have thought that "insert manual brake..." should find 
"insert manual break..."
