Having worked as a developer for a major airline carrier based in Dallas, Texas, USA (can you guess who I'm talking about?), the
entire set of commands are in fact
all text entry. This system has been around for years.
Whatever the user wants is what we should design, IMHO. It makes no difference how hard it is for us developers - the customer (end user) rules.
