Hola
I think that the "ola" or "one letter abbreviations" are bad style and
they difficult the reading of code and commands. I know that typing
results easier but that sacrifices reading by writing. In some languages
that use long descriptive words there is an active use of
self-completion hints in the environment, so a balance between reading
and writing can be found. From the usability/readability point of view,
some kind of code/completion suggestions in the node body and/or
mini-buffer would be a good direction in helping leo to cause the best
first impression that is looked in 5.2 releases.
Anyway the new energy in the community (with Edward as a driving force)
is really good and I imagine that some kind of personal configuration
could be enable to let short aliases to be used (but hopefully they'll
not be the default).
Cheers,
Offray

For almost all commands, print-commands tells you something about the
command because the commands contain at least some full works. For
example, search-forward and search-backward. These new cf* commands
are inconsistent with this pattern. Perhaps a description could be
appended to the cf* command lines:
cff - Clone Find Flattened
cfa - Clone Find All
So I tried Alt-H, C (open CheatSheet.leo) and found nothing about the
cf* commands.
So I tried F11, "cff" and got "no docstring available"
Alt-H, F (Help for Find Commands) --- I found nothing about the cf*
commands.
Finally, I tried Alt-H, D (open LeoDocs.leo) and I found good
documentation for the cf* commands.
Perhaps the current state of the documentation is optimal. Making
print-commands, the CheatSheet.leo, etc. more complete and consistent
could easily make them too large to be useful. But I think it is
annoying that F11 (Help for command) has no help for some commands.
