35 | |
36 ;;; Commentary: | |
37 | |
38 ;; Command aliases greatly simplify the definition of new commands. | |
39 ;; They exist as an alternative to alias functions, which are | |
40 ;; otherwise quite superior, being more flexible and natural to the | |
41 ;; Emacs Lisp environment (if somewhat trickier to define; [Alias | |
42 ;; functions]). | |
43 ;; | |
44 ;;;_* Creating aliases | |
45 ;; | |
46 ;; The user interface is simple: type 'alias' followed by the command | |
47 ;; name followed by the definition. Argument references are made | |
48 ;; using '$1', '$2', etc., or '$*'. For example: | |
49 ;; | |
50 ;; alias ll 'ls -l $*' | |
51 ;; | |
52 ;; This will cause the command 'll NEWS' to be replaced by 'ls -l | |
53 ;; NEWS'. This is then passed back to the command parser for | |
54 ;; reparsing.{Only the command text specified in the alias definition | |
55 ;; will be reparsed. Argument references (such as '$*') are handled | |
56 ;; using variable values, which means that the expansion will not be | |
57 ;; reparsed, but used directly.} | |
58 ;; | |
59 ;; To delete an alias, specify its name without a definition: | |
60 ;; | |
61 ;; alias ll | |
62 ;; | |
63 ;; Aliases are written to disk immediately after being defined or | |
64 ;; deleted. The filename in which they are kept is defined by the | |
65 ;; following variable: | |
66 | |
67 (defcustom eshell-aliases-file (concat eshell-directory-name "alias") | |
68 "*The file in which aliases are kept. | |
69 Whenever an alias is defined by the user, using the `alias' command, | |
70 it will be written to this file. Thus, alias definitions (and | |
71 deletions) are always permanent. This approach was chosen for the | |
72 sake of simplicity, since that's pretty much the only benefit to be | |
73 gained by using this module." | |
74 :type 'file | |
75 :group 'eshell-alias) | |
76 | |
77 ;;; | |
78 ;; The format of this file is quite basic. It specifies the alias | |
79 ;; definitions in almost exactly the same way that the user entered | |
80 ;; them, minus any argument quoting (since interpolation is not done | |
81 ;; when the file is read). Hence, it is possible to add new aliases | |
82 ;; to the alias file directly, using a text editor rather than the | |
83 ;; `alias' command. Or, this method can be used for editing aliases | |
84 ;; that have already defined. | |
85 ;; | |
86 ;; Here is an example of a few different aliases, and they would | |
87 ;; appear in the aliases file: | |
88 ;; | |
89 ;; alias clean rm -fr **/.#*~ | |
90 ;; alias commit cvs commit -m changes $* | |
91 ;; alias ll ls -l $* | |
92 ;; alias info (info) | |
93 ;; alias reindex glimpseindex -o ~/Mail | |
94 ;; alias compact for i in ~/Mail/**/*~*.bz2(Lk+50) { bzip2 -9v $i } | |
95 ;; | |
96 ;;;_* Auto-correction of bad commands | |
97 ;; | |
98 ;; When a user enters the same unknown command many times during a | |
99 ;; session, it is likely that they are experiencing a spelling | |
100 ;; difficulty associated with a certain command. To combat this, | |
101 ;; Eshell will offer to automatically define an alias for that | |
102 ;; mispelled command, once a given tolerance threshold has been | |
103 ;; reached. | |

111 ;;; | |
112 ;; Whenever the same bad command name is encountered this many times, | |
113 ;; the user will be prompted in the minibuffer to provide an alias | |
114 ;; name. An alias definition will then be created which will result | |
115 ;; in an equal call to the correct name. In this way, Eshell | |
116 ;; gradually learns about the commands that the user mistypes | |
117 ;; frequently, and will automatically correct them! | |
118 ;; | |
119 ;; Note that a '$*' is automatically appended at the end of the alias | |
120 ;; definition, so that entering it is unnecessary when specifying the | |
121 ;; corrected command name. | |
