Alias Expansion

What is it
Warp will automatically expand your aliases as you type in the input editor.
How to use it
When Alias Expansion is enabled, typing an alias then hitting SPACE will expand the alias.
To insert a space without expanding an alias, the default keybinding is OPT-SPACE.
Aliases will not be expanded when the command in the expanded form is the same as the alias itself. e.g. if you have an alias ls='ls -G', ls will not be expanded in the input editor.
How to access it
Alias expansion is disabled by default. There are two ways to toggle this on and off:
1.From Settings: Navigate to Settings > Features > Editor and toggle “Expand aliases as you type”.
2.From the Command Palette: Press CMD-P to open the Command Palette. Then, search for the “Enable/disable alias expansion” option and hit ENTER.
