  1. This is just a suggestion. If there was a command shortcut like /h for the home command, it would be easier to get home. Now if someone had more than 1 home they would do /h 2, 3, or 4. I was wondering if this could be implemented because I am too lazy to type /home all the time. I am sure this would be easy to add to EMC seeing as it just is a shortcut for an existing command.

  3. I think you would have to be very lazy not to be able to type 5 keys on the keyboard. This shouldn't be implemented because we need less lazy people in this world.

  4. I was curious why this was never added, to be honest. In the original post that suggested shortening /visit to /v, /goto to /g and /mode to /m, it also suggested /h for /home. I guess it just never made the cut.

  7. I type /v home about 3 times a week. I wish I didn't have to type /home 2 if I am on SMP9 (my second res)

  8. I imagine part of the reason /h isn't /home - is that there is another command starting with "h" - /help

  10. Sure you could add shortcuts for these. But it is best to create shortcuts that make a clear link with the original command.

  11. I only reasoned that a question mark would signify someone needing help or a question answered

  12. Type /h then press Tab to see some commands that start with /h.
    Also this is a fast way to get full usernames of those who are on your server.
    Say you want to pay LongestUsernameinMCHistory3000 100 rupees... well if they are on your server, type L then press Tab, and press Tab again until you get to that username.

  14. Doesn't work on EMC sadly, or at least, not for most commands. They never got added to the thing Bukkit reads them from. :(

  16. I do like this suggestion of making /h a shortcut for /home.
    /home is one of the most frequent commands in town, whereas /help is less common.

  19. This guy typed out 382 characters just so he could suggest to abbreviate a command that isn't even long in the first place. Suck it up and type a four letter word... It builds character xD

  20. lol wut? 382 characters is incorrect, don't forget the numbers XD Anyways this is just a suggestion and I wouldn't have hurt feelings if it wasn't implemented. Also it builds character? If you want to do that just go outside :p
