Implementing a 'list' command rather than 'limits', 'entries, 'shortcuts'

[nus-pe-bot]

The application will be much more user friendly if a list command is implemented that can show the list of records in each mode of the application rather than typing out a specific word to list out the list of records for each different mode.

For example, typing 'list' in limit mode or entry mode will give me the list of records. This is much easier to understand rather than needing to type 'limits' in the limit mode to view the list and 'entries' in the entry mode to view the list.

Team's Response

This was an issue that we had discussed while designing the app. While we initially wanted to use the ‘list’ command to make it simpler for the user to use, we came to the conclusion that having the user use the plural form of each mode would help them to think about the mode they are in as well. Moreover, it allows certain modes to allow the use of lists from other modes. Currently, only shortcut mode and entry mode supports this, it allows the user to view both entries list and shortcut lists in these two modes and using “list” alone will be more confusing to differentiate them.

If the keyword “list” is used, it could be confusing for users, since using the same command “list” in different modes would result in different outputs.
