[QUESTION] Global option anywhere in the command line?

[trondth]

First check

• I used the GitHub search to find a similar issue and didn't find it.
• I searched the Typer documentation, with the integrated search.
• I already searched in Google "How to X in Typer" and didn't find any information.
• I already searched in Google "How to X in Click" and didn't find any information.

Description

Is it possible to implement a global option so it can be added anywhere in the commandline and to be displayed in the help for each subcommand.

Additional context

It is well documented how to create a global option with callback, but it seems to have some limitations. It seems to me that a global option «foo» can only be set like this:

command --foo bar subcommand

but not like this:

command subcommand --foo bar

And also, the help for «foo» will only be displayed on:

command --help

not

command subcommand --help

Is there a way to make the global option more flexible?

Yes. Reading the last reply in #153, I agree. (I first mistook it for sharing options between a subset of commands)

In that case, we can continue in that issue, right?

Sorry for the long delay! 🙈 I wanted to personally address each issue/PR and they piled up through time, but now I'm checking each one in order.

Yes, I should have closed this back in 2020. Thanks for the feedback.
