- >How do you edit/change/addto an already existing alias in elm?
-
- 1) Delete it and (re)create it:
- a jump into alias menu
- <num> | j | k select the alias to be changed
- d delete - mark alias for deletion
- $ synchronize (update) alias table
- (deletes aliases marked for deletion)
- n new alias - create a new alias
- $ synchronize (update) alias table
- [will add the new ("changed") alias to become
- effective]
-
- 2) Make changes to the alias file ($HOME/.elm/aliases.text) using your
- favourite editor and then update the hash table with "newalias".
