Case sensitive commands

[nus-pe-bot]

It was stated in the user guide that commands are case sensitive and in lowercase.

However, in the real world when we use terminals, commands are usually case insensitive, as it is often that users will make typos while typing commands.

For example in a normal terminal, the following command works in all caps

I believe this would cause inconvenience to users and have put it as Medium.

While it would be a good feature to have in the future, we believe that due to the nature all our commands being entire lowercase, which is the default while typing, it should only be a rare issue especially since we have already mentioned this limitation in our userguide. It is unlikely for a user to randomly captialise their text when typing as it involves actively choosing to press the shift button or enabling capslock for the entire duration.

Furthermore, do note that not all command line interfaces are case-insensitive. One example is git bash, as shown below:
