`/?` does not execute `/help` as expected

[Lee-WonJun]

What happened?

Typing /? seems to act as a shortcut for /help, but pressing Enter only autocompletes it to /help—it doesn't execute the command. As a result, the user has to press Enter twice: /? → Enter → /help → Enter.

What did you expect to happen?

Pressing Enter after /? should immediately execute the /help command.

Anything else we need to know?

/? appears to be a shortcut for /help in code, but the current behavior only triggers autocomplete, not execution, which can be confusing for users.

Looks like that's how it was implemented on purpose for any command that has an altName. See for example /stats and /usage

Maybe @abhipatel12 can confirm

[Lee-WonJun]

I know it has an altName. In my view, a command with an altName [should be executed] immediately when you press Enter, rather than being substituted, because it functions as a shortcut—or an “alias.”

If this behavior is intentional, please feel free to disregard. However, I've attached a video and an explanation in the PR [#4227] detailing why I think the behavior seems odd.
