I can't avoid it, since i didn't mean to select "Chat", its just the highest relevance item that comes up on first query letter 'c'.

I highly encourage to disable the action as item support (or at least by default), i think its confusing and doesnt give all that much.
When I wrote MightyBox (http://eyaw.com) and i addressed this problem of how should the user input his commands, I researched the subject and this is what i came up with (a paragraph from mighty box wiki):

"The three-panel interface consists of constructing a command in a way that resembles to constructing a sentence in the English language, which makes it very intuitive. In linguistic typology, subject-verb-object (SVO) is a sentence structure where the subject comes first, the verb second, and the object(param) third. Mighty Box uses this common order found in more than 75% of the world's languages. It is also the most common order developed in Creole languages, suggesting that it may be somehow more initially 'obvious' to human psychology.
