JennyB:
hierarchical organization for aliases is an interesting idea jenny.. i was thinking of writing a kind of hierarchical notetaking and clip management plugin, it might be usable for the kind of thing you are suggesting..

Yes, even a simple circular queue from which an alias could take its arguments (my programming background is mainly Forth).
A general point for all plugin writers - if you are making something that searches for a window, process, printer or whatever, please leave a way of allowing someone else to write a command-line +alias that can do something you didn't anticipate with whatever is chosen.
tinjaw:
Would anybody be interested in a plugin that did Shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, and Reboot?
Nevermind :-[
It took 60 seconds for people to explain why it was a bad idea. And I agree with them. :P
mouser:
to clarify why tinjaw's idea is not good:
it's actually a great idea, but a much easier approach is to create an alias file for a commandline tool with such functionality, like NirCmd which is already exists for farr.
mouser:
Did someone suggest yet a spellcheck plugin?
you would type:
spellc necesary
and it would display as results the top suggested words, when you click one it would copy it to the clipboard.
1 necessary
2 ...
3 ...
(ps there are free spellcheck engines like http://aspell.net/)
jgpaiva:
Just to cast another vote for the "kill active processes" plugin, it'd be the one i want the most.
