That's why I added the second sentence :p
But let's not not dwell on that. It was simply an example that not all people using shells are power users or ever will be.


> I'm not so sure.  I think you'll confuse people either way.  At least as it is you can see what is running. 

Which is why I said that my preferred solution would be an extra button labeled 'use default'. This would put $SHELL into the text box, gray it out and make editing it impossible. That mechanism is something most people will be used to, no matter what they are/have been using or how tech-savvy they are.
Overloading the text input box was a second suggestion as, from how I interpreted what you said, I assumed you did not want to add an extra button.
