What do you anticipate being the problem? I have several single-letter commands myself.

#4You are actively rooting against your tool/docs being discoverable by search engines, aren't you?

Its probably pretty common to use q for one of those commands. It is also easy to accidentally enter an errant q into the shell.
Call it qdns?

#6See also "dog" which I've been using for a while, works well. https://github.com/ogham/dog
I actually already have a "q" alias, I think single-letter aliases are probably quite common. Are there many other well-known utilities with a single-letter name?
Edit: Turns out I have one installed, "z", a universal archiver front-end. https://legacy.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/z/

#7Let me agree with the comments so far: Cool tool, not cool enough to take a 1-char name by default.

I use a “z” as well, but it’s a global cd tool. https://github.com/rupa/z/

Grr.. the latest dog binary release gives me "GLIBC_2.32 not found" errors on x64 Linux..

It definitely makes sense for me to reserve 1-letter commands for the user.
