Alias Expansion
Warp will automatically expand your aliases as you type in the input editor.
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.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 hitENTER
.
