Aliases?

[pablogrs]

Hi,

In Rofi it was possible to load aliases in a few ways in the configuration. e.g. set_from_resource $i3-wm.program.launcher.app i3-wm.program.launcher.app rofi -run-list-command ". ~/.config/i3/aliases.sh" -run-command "/bin/bash -i -c '{cmd}'" -show drun -theme $rofiTheme

Is there something similar in Ilia?

Thanks

Hi, it's not clear to me what "alias" means from the line you've shown. Generally, ilia is less flexible than rofi. One thing it does support is passing a list for selection.. eg ls / | ilia -p textlist

Hi, As for alias I mean bash aliases to run commands. I am not sure passing a list for selection will work, but I can try to figure it out.

Thanks

Ah, ok I understand more now thanks @pablogrs . Do you want to see your bash aliases merged with the commands in the "terminal" page, or do you want your alias as a separate list? If it's the latter, I was able to get the list w/ this (a bit sloppy): alias | cut -d' ' -f2 | cut -d'=' -f1 | ilia -p textlist

Thanks Ken, I'll try it and come back with the result. Mostly to be used with i3, Regolith integration.

Hi @kgilmer I ended up adding the application to the launcher, it doesn't work using aliases. https://askubuntu.com/questions/224004/how-to-add-programs-to-the-unity-launcher-or-ubuntu-dock
