Accept shorthand CLI commands - like `winget i` in place of `winget install` #4984

Closed jo-chemla closed 1 week ago

jo-chemla commented 1 week ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

It could be useful to accept the shortcut winget i in place of winget install for the sake of speed. Other often-used commands could also benefit from having a single-char shorthand alias.

Proposed technical implementation details

Potential list of single-char aliases below. Some commands have no alias suggested as their initial is the same as another command which might be more used. Open to hearing the community thoughts!

install: i
upgrade: u

uninstall: 
download: d

help: h
