aliases for aliases?
« on: July 16, 2008, 06:04 AM »
Sometimes I cannot remember the exact name for a keyword. Those times I wish that I could have either long names in which Farr could bring up the alias based on any of the words in the name or define aliases in the aliases. Probably it is possible with regex but I am looking for easy and streamlined solution.

for example

I have tutorial alias but this alias can also be learning, lessons etc.

right now you can type agroups followed by keywords matched in the description, but i could maybe add code so it will match against any text mentioned even in the actions of the alias.

agroups seems to work fine. But you know it is extra typing and there is no auto completion. Althou I can create an alias for it. But again it is not part of standard typing.

If you can put that into the code that would be amazing. Until then I will go with agroups. Thanks for the tip.
