I agree with both paragraphs above. > ps: i never used abbreviations and never saw configurations or users using > them (on purpose at least). Me too. I didn't even know such a feature existed in MySQL/MariaDB. In some tools where I come across auto-abbreviations I've disliked it. It is difficult from documentation point-of-view to read and understand if two commands do the same thing or not. If people are too lazy to write long commands, then autocompletion is a much better solution. I like very much how git does this: it has both autocompletion and context-aware help if you run a command that was wrong and maybe misspelled. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
