Support short form arguments for high level commands

[JordonPhillips]

For instance, instead of aws s3 sync --quiet ... we would have aws s3 sync -q.

We wouldn't be able to support these for every argument (sync, for instance, has five arguments that start with 'c'), but we could potentially cut down on some of the verbosity.

[rayluo]

I can not speak for others. But personally I am not a big fan of this one. Because when there are common prefix, it would become another mental burden to remember "whether -q stands for --quiet or --query?", AND THEN if you would need to rely on searching another document for that answer, it counteracts the benefit of saving several key strokes.

Currently I'm using the auto-completion solution. It works quite well for me.

Just my $0.02 💰

Good Morning!

We're closing this issue here on GitHub, as part of our migration to UserVoice for feature requests involving the AWS CLI.

This will let us get the most important features to you, by making it easier to search for and show support for the features you care the most about, without diluting the conversation with bug reports.

As a quick UserVoice primer (if not already familiar): after an idea is posted, people can vote on the ideas, and the product team will be responding directly to the most popular suggestions.

We’ve imported existing feature requests from GitHub - Search for this issue there!

And don't worry, this issue will still exist on GitHub for posterity's sake. As it’s a text-only import of the original post into UserVoice, we’ll still be keeping in mind the comments and discussion that already exist here on the GitHub issue.

GitHub will remain the channel for reporting bugs.

Once again, this issue can now be found by searching for the title on: https://aws.uservoice.com/forums/598381-aws-command-line-interface

Based on community feedback, we have decided to return feature requests to GitHub issues.

[tim-finnigan]

This issue hasn't received any 👍 reactions or community comments since being opened in 2015 so I think it should be closed. In addition to the command completion alternative mentioned earlier, another option is the auto-prompt mode in the AWS CLI v2.
