You forget what your tools can do
You installed TrueCommander last month. You remember the three commands you use daily. The other 59? You've forgotten half of them. When a new task comes up — "wonder if there's a command for that?" — you either guess and type, or open a documentation tab.
The discoverability problem with every CLI-style tool: commands exist; nobody reads the manual.
What most people do instead
A better way: "help" lists every command
Type help in the navigator. The full command catalog renders grouped by category — Tools, WooCommerce, Analytics, Templates, AI, Users, Content, Security, Plugins, Integrations, General. Each command shows its name, a one-line description, and usage syntax.
Bind help to a shortcut.+H for help. One keystroke opens the catalog when you're staring at the screen wondering if there's a better way to do something.
How it works
The command reads the internal command registry (built-in + AI + custom + macro commands available to your role), groups by category, and renders each with its description and usage syntax.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Scope | Commands available to your role (respects Access Control) |
| Includes | Built-in, AI, custom, and macro commands |
| Performance | Renders in < 50ms — command registry is cached |
| Can be used in |
Real example
You're four weeks into using TrueCommander. A client asks you to scan their WooCommerce store for products missing featured images. You don't remember if there's a command for that.
You type help. You see "WooCommerce · 12 commands" and expand it. filter product has a parameter -no_image=true. You close help, run filter product with that flag, get the list in seconds. Without the help command, you'd have guessed "no image filter?" and given up.
