description

This plugin lets you define command-line abbreviations by `:Alias` which only expand at the beginning of the command prompt. You can pass the optional parameters   -buffer  or  -range to create a buffer local alias or one that accepts a range preceding the alias. These command line abbreviations work like the bash aliases, except that the alias is substituted in-place. # Usage     :Alias [-range] [-buffer] <lhs> <rhs>     :UnAlias <lhs> ...     :Aliases [<lhs> ...] ## Examples:     :Alias   -range   dg   <c-r>=&l:diff?"diffget":"dg"<cr>     :Alias   -buffer  spl  setlocal\ spell<bar>setlocal\ spelllang=en     :Alias            w!!  write\ !sudo\ tee\ >\ /dev/null\ %     :Alias            F    find\ *<c-r>=EatChar("\ ")<cr>     :Alias            th   tab\ help     :Alias            sft  setfiletype     :Alias            g    !git     :UnAlias          g     :Aliases   See :help abbreviations for Eatchar(c). ## Persistent Aliases: To define the Aliases after Vim has started up, put them in ~/.vim/after/plugin/alias.vim (on Linux) or %USERPROFILE%/vimfiles/after/plugin/alias.vim (on Microsoft Windows). # Configuration The variable `g:cmdaliasCmdPrefixes` lists the patterns of all commands by which an alias command may be preceded and yet expand. It defaults to   let g:cmdaliasCmdPrefixes = [       \ '\d*verb\%[ose]', 'debug', 'sil\%[ent]!\?', '\%uns[ilent]' 'redir\?!\?',       \ 'ld!\?', '[cl]fd!\?', '[cl]f\?do!\?',       \ '\%(\%([.$]\|\d\+\)\%([,;]\%([.$]\|\d\+\)\)*\)\?\s*' .       \ '\%(argdo\?!\?\|bufdo\?!\?\|windo\?\|tabdo\?\)' ] # Development vim-alias is developed at https://github.com/Konfekt/vim-alias where issues can be filed. # Credits This plugin builds and improves on cmdalias.vim 3. 0 by Hari Krishna Dara by - allowing for aliases of commands preceded by a range (like :Alias -range dg   diffget), - allowing for alias names ending in non-word chars (like :Alias w!! ...), - having a Vim documentation, and - more checks for proper usage, more consistent parameter parsing and a finer   check for blanks or commands (such as :  silent! ) preceding the alias.
