@willemneal I think that's a good idea (#1420 even mentions it), but I wonder how we can achieve that by using command(flatten). 🤔

I tried to make it work, but failed to make everything work.

As an idea we can add list --all that conflicts with --network
The only thing is that our current flags are already pretty complicated, not sure if it makes sense to complicate it even further

@ifropc I did that, but network options are required, and simply using Option<network::Args> doesn't work (it complains about #[group(skip)], and even without it doesn't work).

Yeah, I was looking into groups, unfortunately we can't make it work easily while using derive API, this is a known issue in clap (and I don't think it will be changed, based on the discussion in Clap repo). So our only option is to migrate to builder for networks and maybe other flags as well, which we probably don't want to spend our time on right now.
What I suggest is to not use Option<network::Args> and instead only use network name as a string (testnet/mainnet/etc) -> as we don't need to know RPC url to fetch aliases.
But it will conflict with how we are using network everywhere else, so maybe not a very good idea

I guess we should ignore --all for now.

I think we can keep this command simpler and output all aliases for all networks, and provide no filtering options.

@leighmcculloch works for me!

The list output is currently this:
