multi-line input might be inconvenient to type

[Zeno-Zr]

sometimes, when i type fast and misspelled my username (say jane), I cannot go back and edit it. instead I have to type a wrong password (like a space) to exit and retype.

for a user used to CLI, it will be easier if i can go back and edit my input.

for example: login username/jane password/12345678

this way, i can edit jaane to jane before i enter my password, which makes login an easier process

Team's Response

It is a suggestion rather than an issue. Our purpose for multi-line input for username and password is to make an easy command for the user to understand how to use it correctly, especially in the case that you must sign up and login first before experiencing the program. Your suggestion for "login username/jane password/12345678" could be easy to remember for our developers, but for most users, it is easier to separate the username and passwords into different parts. I guess you know that most accounts that we use today will have to blank: username and password, instead of asking the user to type everything in one line. But your suggestions are still good, it is just balancing between pros and cons.

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: While multistep commands are good for introducing new users to the program, one-shot commands should be an alternative way of typing for regular users
