Long prefixes to type #15

Open swongts opened 3 years ago

This might be less optimal for fast typers and they might prefer having short prefixes. Some of these are quite long.

Team's Response

This is a suggestion, not a bug

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: This is taken from the CS2113 website: "Unnecessarily complicated (or hard-to-type) command formats can be considered a type.FeatureFlaw as it is expected that the input formats will be optimized to get things done fast. Some examples: using very long keywords when shorter ones do,".

Not a bug, but could be considered a feature flaw. Because the target audience should be CLI-preferred. A user who can type fast should be able to accomplish most tasks faster via CLI, compared to a hypothetical GUI-only version of the app. Making long prefix names might potentially make it slower than GUI.
