 When running a command, the GUI always have some inputs, like name of
 dataset, command called and etc..

 what Im proposing, is that the gui should recommended (or autofill) some
 optional or required fields that the user needs to fill. For example the
 proposed name of an output file/layer could be
 ${input_name)_${command_called}_${region}.

 The same can said for some arithmetic values.

 The whole idea behind this suggestion is to give the user some peace of
 mind with the trivial task, and let him focus on his real objectives.

 A second enchantment that is being addressed is that this way important
 but usually over looked inputs will be drawn focus upon
