Where to find AWS CLI documentation with updated values?

I was working on creating AWS CLI scripts on operations that I've been manually doing earlier. I used AWS Cloudshell to easily execute the CLI commands. But when I check the autocomplete function of Cloudshell there are some extra commands and also some commands in the AWS CLI documentation that are currently not supported too.

I used this documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/index.html

Is there anywhere we get the details of those newly created arguments?

An example is: While creating aws ec2 key pair, some arguments like '--key-type' that is mentioned in the document is not supported.

The AWS Cloudshell runs on Amazon Linux 2 and you have root access to it. So to update your aws cli version you do what you would do on Amazon Linux 2:

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install --bin-dir /usr/local/bin --install-dir /usr/local/aws-cli --update

verify (newest is 2.2.30)

aws --version

Also your AWS CLI link is for old verison v1. The docs for version v2 are here.
