This is actually documented here: https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/concepts : "...Refer to your shell's documentation (e.g. BASH_ENV for bash, ~/.zshenv for zsh) to use aliases and functions. ..."

For anyone who is not aware of .zshrc, .zshenv, .zprofile, .zlogin, .zlogout, etc, here you go: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/71253/what-should-shouldnt-go-in-zshenv-zshrc-zlogin-zprofile-zlogout

I have a related question, how to run command alias via '!' as plugin? This might have been documented/indicated someware in the wiki, but I cannot find out to the best of my effort. Thanks in advance.

! simply launches the shell, nnn doesn't do anything special there. On my system aliases work just fine with !.

If it isn't working for you, you need to consult your shell's documentation and make sure your aliases are being loaded properly. I set my aliases in my .zshrc for example.
