[wt.exe] Help windows are inconsistent #4612
Comments
For at least the first and second, you’re seeing “split pane with an unknown argument,” “split pane help” ( This seems consistent to me; any ideas how we can be better here? |
The first command gives us an error, the second the help for split-pane sub-command, althought both dialog windows are a result of case-sensitivity issue with -H and -V. Solution is quite simple. Remove -h as a shortcut for help command (--help, -?, and /? are more than enough). |
That would break compatibility with WSL so that can't happen. We should be able to use the wt commandline from any shell, including ones utilized in WSL (bash, fish, zsh, etc.) |

Yes there are a number of issues with the WT commmandline but certain fundamentals need to be kept in place. Perhaps we can simply add different aliases depending on the shell being supported. For PS (Windows installed) and cmd, we can get the traditional type of commandline and for everything else, continue the same syntax and simply fix the logic that appears that have a number of bugs with it. |
I'm closing this one as by-design for now. We're tracking the case sensitivity in another issue, and requests for the help dialog to change go in the discussion thread #4601. The dialogs are consistent if you consider that one is an error for an invalid param, one is subcommand --help and one is wt --help. We could likely improve them by showing subcommand --help when we present an error for an invalid param. /dup #4601 |
Hi! We've identified this issue as a duplicate of another one that already exists on this Issue Tracker. This specific instance is being closed in favor of tracking the concern over on the referenced thread. Thanks for your report! |
