Command panel clears wrong input on enter

[ningtan11]

After typing a long command that might have a minor typo, the entire command is automatically cleared. This means the user has to retype the entire command again, instead of being able to go back and edit the minor typo.

Would be better if the error message is shown but the incorrect input is kept, so the user can easily fix their error.

Team's Response

Hi there! Thanks so much for the report.

Clearing the command line after a wrong input (after every input to be more specific) was a feature that we implemented, for various reasons. Firstly, our target users for the app are fast typists, and for such a user group it is critical to maintain a fast typing flow. If there were an incorrect input for instance, it would be faster to simply type the command again, as opposed to either going back with the arrow keys, or using backspace, both of which breaks the flow of typing.

Moreover, Coydir is designed such that the most common functions used in daily operations for a company, are short commands such as view and find. Rarely will a HR executive have to use the add command to individually add (batch-add is much more likely), or the edit command to change all particulars for an employee.

With these considerations in mind, we concluded that it would be much more useful for our target user to have the command line cleared after every input, to provide for an optimal use of the CLI app. Therefore we would like to reject this issue.

Once again, thank you so much for informing us regarding the error.

Cheers,

Coydir
