Good day!

I noticed an inconsistent use of the short argument -t.

For example, in the ls command, the short argument -t is an alias for --type:

nb ls --help

Usage:
  nb ls ...

...

--tags                          List tags in the notebook or folder.
-t, --type <type>, --<type>     List items of <type>. <type> can be a file
extension or one of the following types:
    archive, audio, book, bookmark, document,
    folder, image, note, text, video
...

However, in the search command, the short argument -t is an alias for --tags:

nb search --help

Usage:
  nb search ...

...

-t, --tags                    List all tags found in the notebook.
--type <type>, --<type>       Search items of <type>. <type> can be a file
extension or one of the following types:
    note, bookmark, document, archive, image,
    video, audio, folder, text
...

Key observations:

Same short flag -t maps to different long arguments:
- --type in ls
- --tags in search
This inconsistency could cause confusion for users switching between commands
