Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
things like :sg are not supported
Describe the solution you'd like
Command parsing (lexing really) to be more aware that the command may be only the first letter of what's currently considered the command.
Describe alternatives you've considered
:s g will work (after the :s PR is merged, of course ;) )...
Personally, since this also works in vim, I'm totally okay with changing my habits to add the spacebar instead if this request is rejected. But I figured I'd report this for completeness so maintainers can decide ;).
Additional context
Again, if you friends think this doesn't warrant the added complexity, it's totally understandable to me ;).

Research direction
Start by tracing the command parsing or lexing path for the :sg command and compare it with the existing :s g form. Done means commands that use immediate letter-based options, such as :sg, are recognized while preserving existing command behavior.
