Suggestion for commands

[lightonflux]

Nowadays, most Linux distros use systemd. And its tools have similar commands.

For example, instead of using brightness -g a user familiar with systemd tools might try get-brightness first. Or monitorctl brightness without any value, to get the value without changing it, similar to hostnamectl location.

I really like the shortcuts and would not suggest removing them. But personally, i think they can be improved. Both in terms of characters typed, and how natural the word order feels. For example, instead of b -i i suggest ib for "increase brightness". But of course this comes down to personal preference.

I should include this in the help message but, the tool already support flags for subcommands.

so the following commands work.

monitorctl -bg
monitorctl -bi
monitorctl -bd

However, the reverse is not true. the following commands dont work.

monitorctl -ib
monitorctl -db
monitorctl -dg

I can try to make it so that the opposite order works as well.

Also, making monitorctl b and other equivalents to default to getting brightness seems like a good idea. Will work on it when I have time. But first, I need to handle support for laptops and make sure if something goes wrong the program doesn't panic.
