Indeed. I've broken things up a little so that TAB-completion works.
I did have some changes to RC_BIND to allow you to run:
bind x alias_name
Unfortunately that eventually causes problems, because SaveAction
keeps pointers to my linked-list which get juggled around when aliases
are added or removed.
For the moment I've reverted that, which means I have to use this
form:
alias www screen -F -t www links
bind W eval www
That's not ideal, but I can live with it if I must.
I suspect a similar issue is going to bite me if I allow aliases to
be defined which point to other aliases. This should be fine:
alias blah echo -> Allowed currently
alias foo blah -> Not currently allowed, not hard to add.
But anything that has pointers to saved arguments will be difficult.
