[FAQ] How to add alias with | pipe?

[linuxmobile]

Hi, i want to know if there is a way to add commands like: "pacman -Q | fzf".

When i add this as a normal alias it return:

I don't know too much about lua. Sorry if i'm a dumb!

Oh. Ignore it.

I'll fix adding this: "sh -c 'pacman -Q | fzf'"

this was a problem with how hilbish and the sh interpreter work interactively. i just expanded the alias before going to the sh runner now, so it is fixed.

note that this still not work if you want to pipe to/from the alias (that never worked)

fyi before i fixed it you could have aliased to hilbish.runner.sh "<command here>" and that would be faster and less overhead
