I was going to post the same thing. With tab completion long names can be typed quickly anyway. Also, the keyboard is the most fundamental input device for developers... learn how to use it well. It amazes me how many people who are professional developers use copy/paste so much because they can't type well. It slows them down to a crawl.

I don't particularly want to have to type 30-character names all the time without tab completion, but I'm not going to worry about an eight character command vs. a four character one.

Obviously this doesn't apply if you are dyslexic or disabled in some way or something.
