There's inconsistency on if commands are case sensitive or not - I can have whatever case of "/examine" and that part of a command will work fine. If I try and "/eXamInE jukebox" in a room with a "Jukebox" then the command will fail, because despite the lack of case sensitivity on the command there is case sensitivity on the objects. Surely sanitising input text to always be lower case would effectively enforce case insensitive interaction with rooms?

Otherwise somewhere needs to warn the user that although the commands are case insensitive the parameters for commands are case sensitive.

It is up to the room.

Some rooms will care, some won't. Given you can also chat, universal downcasing isn't appropriate

You can universally downcase if the input starts with a "/" - from a user pov is is frustrating not knowing if I should be case sensitive or not as the game is giving mixed messages (either make commands case sensitive so it's clear I should worry everywhere, or solve the sensitivity for params entered).

I would really like to leave that to the room's discretion.

In most cases (with items), you can use links to type as they exist. There was a UI thing we wanted to do that we never did get around to...
