Skylight is an in-development expression entry tool. It allows you to search, launch, lookup, automate and define, all in a systematic, predictible way, allowing you to act at the edge of reflex. Boasting advanced habit learning and matching algorithms, infinite plug-in extensibility and the general smarts equivalent of a rat, it is purpose built to make your computing life easier.

It can't be explained, so please try and send us feedback.
