Dear GRASSusers and developers,
is there a way to know which commands are available in buttons and functions
of GIS Manager (apart from trying all of them)? Is there somewhere a list of
these commands?
Many thanks in advance.

I just wanted to pipe in to say that I have had the same thoughts!

I should clarify, It would be nice to have ‘mouse overs’ to quickly see the command…
I suppose this would be a GUI issue to take up with the developers though…
Someone here was showing of a Python GUI, perhaps that is a good place to ask for such a feature?

Hopefully ALL are except for the following:
-3rd party packages not included and/or compiled with the main GRASS
distribution
-A couple of modules/scripts that require the custom installation of a 3
party program not included with the main GRASS distribution (e.g., requiring
gpsbabel).
-Modules that are only meaningful for programming/scripting (e.g., d.graph).
-Any other new modules that I or someone else hasn't been made aware of or
hasn't gotten around to adding yet. We try to keep up, but GRASS development
is moving rapidly. Anyone with committer access to the cvs can help with
this. Ideally, whoever submits a new module and wants it in the menu should
simply add it.
You can check in $GISBASE/etc/gm/gmmenu.tcl to see what is there. This is
the TclTk script that actually adds items to the menus.

see the "Synopsis of GRASS modules" PDF.
http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/GRASS_Help#Individual_modules
it's not a menu tree, but a list of all modules* and their description,
listed by type.

Many thanks to everybody for the intersting discussion and tips.
Probably my question was overestimated.
I try to better explain the very simple matter.
The user facing with a problem usually look at the manual looking for a
command (or more commands)that can solve the problem. At this point he needs
to know if the command(s) he wants to use can be run through the buttons and
menus of gis.m or he has to use the command line mode (he knows that all the
commands are available in command line mode, but he prefers to use the GIS
Manager, when possible).
Couldn't the problem be solved simply inserting this information in the
manual page of each command or more simply in the list of the commands like
the "Synopsis of GRASS modules" PDF suggested by Hamish? A simple flag like:
"in gis.m" would be enough, even though the name of the related menu (or
button) would be even better.
Greetings
