Alias

Starting from 1.0.90, Alias is officially part of Airs default plugin.

In this post, we'd assume you've read through the post Directory. If not, please click the link and check it out.

If you'd like to share the file you lately downloaded from you browser(let's say the folder locates in /browser/download/files) to your friends in WhatsApp, you'd probably use:

cd browser/download/files->latest->whatsapp

If you're going to use it very ofter, typing such long instruction would be inevitably painful. This is where Alias comes in. Use the following instruction to turn this long instruction into a simple word.

cd browser/download/files->latest->whatsapp->add dlw

As you can see, the trick is at '->add'. This is what we call Alias.

Now, when you execute 'dlw', Aris will equally share the latest file in folder /browser/download/files into WhatsApp.

If you're not sure which app you'll be using to share this file, just save this script as 'dll'.

cd browser/download/files->latest->add dll

Then share it to WhatsApp, Facebook or whatsover:

dll->whatsapp

Moreover, you can add single app or contact using Alias. The app you just added will show up in the folder in the sliding drawer, along with a bunch of other plugins you created using Alias.

Add website as bookmark

Yes, you can add an website and you can find it by its domain or in the sliding drawer. For instance,

http://www.google.com->add

And you'll both find it in the sliding drawer and by searching.

If you want to use another name, simple use

http://www.google.com->add [rename]

Rename

You can rename a plugin/app/contact by

{item}->add [rename]
