Commands as shortcuts-aliases

[nikoskip]

First of all, great project! I come from original Console 2 and this improved version is amazing.

I always have to repeat a lot of commands over and over again, it would be great if you can implement aliases in this version, so you only have to type the short alias name and press enter or tab. Maybe do something like snippets in Sublime Text 2, imagine a list of snippets like - with an GUI if you want to -:

<name>Some command</name>
<command>some very-large {$1} command -{$2}</command>
<alias>sv</alias>

And next you write in Console 2

sv /one -parameter/two

And it will execute

some very-large /one command -parameter/two

What do you think?

Hi
Thx

Console2 or ConsoleZ are not shells.
Only shell can interprets inputs.
Most of shells support aliases, functions or scripting.

:(

So there is no way to catch the command before execute it?

[cbucher]

Not at ConsoleZ level.
But use your shell features 😉

Thanks @cbucher I will try them!
