Bug Description
Request:
If you launch Mixxx from the CLI there are a number of arguments you can start it with. At least on Linux the behaviour here is non-standard though. If you enter the incorrect syntax or misspell the argument then Mixxx will still load as normal. It should fail to load and tell the user the argument was invalid.
An addition to this which would be really nice (especially as Mixxx uses fairly long argument strings) would be to have Tab Autocompletion working on this. I wouldn't say this is quite standard in Linux but the core GNU utils do it as does some other software so I'm sure it should be possible.

Yeah, auto-complete would be nice! Or some minimal man page that lists available options.
I rarely use controller debug or different ressource path, but if I do I have to look it up in the wiki to checck the correct spelling.
