This snippet for zsh still has some rough edges but works for the majority of cases. Automatically extends any global alias when space is pressed in zsh. For ex. I have `alias -G G='rg -s'`, so if I type `command | G` it will autoexpand it to `command | rg -s` and so on. globalias() { local raw word # raw last blank-separated token, exactly as typed raw=${LBUFFER##\* } # shell-parsed last word word=${${(z)LBUFFER}[-1]} # if user typed \alias, don't expand if [[ $raw == \\* ]]; then zle self-insert return fi if alias -- ${(q)word} &>/dev/null; then zle _expand_alias zle expand-word fi zle self-insert } zle -N globalias bindkey ' ' globalias
