KRunnerAlias allows you to use aliases defined in ~/.bashrc. Arguments can also be passed to the aliases.
If the following alias is defined in ~/.bashrc :
alias test_Alias=kate
KRunnerAlias allows the following things to be entered in krunner
test_Alias
Which obviously opens kate. Arguments can however also be passed to aliases which allows for the following:
test_Alias ~/test.txt
Which effectively means that the following is executed: kate ~/test.txt.
Aliases have to be defined as they are supposed to be in a .bashrc-file. Aliases have the following formats:
alias ${name}=${command}
alias ${name}="${command}"
alias ${name}='${command}'
Comments can be added after the command using #:
alias ${name}='${command}' #${comment}
Chaining aliases is not (yet) supported, if the following aliases are defined
alias test_Alias='kate '
alias file1="test.txt"
Entering the following in krunner:
test_Alias file1
results in:
kate file1
and not in
kate test.txt
