I don't think this is such a good idea. I often mistype a command. By chance, it's found in some package I've not heard of. Meanwhile, while the search was on-going, I've realised my mistake and entered the correct command before continuing to type ahead. If that corrected command was consumed as the answer to `would you like to install it now?' then my later commands may have problems, e.g. the `cd' was consumed and the `rm' was acting somewhere other than intended.
