Tab completions with account aliases include keyword "alias"

[trev-dev]

Given the following account defined in my accounts.ledger:

account Expenses:Business:OFC:Hosting
  alias Office:Hosting

When I start typing the alias Office:Hosting and hit <TAB> the completion resolves to alias Office:Hosting

Yes, as designed. What do you think it should do?

The hope is that it would complete the alias alone and not include the keyword `alias`. For example, this: ``` 2022-01-28 * Digital Ocean Off| <-- cursor Assets:Business:Chequing ``` Would complete into this: ``` 2022-01-28 * Digital Ocean Office:Hosting Assets:Business:Chequing ``` And not an invalid account name like: ``` 2022-01-28 * Digital Ocean alias Office:Hosting Assets:Business:Chequing ``` "Craig Earls" ***@***.***> writes:

Sorry, I missed the extra 'alias'. The regexes allow spaces in account names. They don't recognize that "alias" at the beginning is a keyword. This is the first time since I wrote those about 11 years ago anyone has asked for this. You are welcome to try to hack this into the regexes, but there are serious dragons in there.
