# ZSH Alias Finder

Simple ZSH plugin that will display an alias when you use a command you have aliased previously. Helpful for remembering aliases you have defined in the past.

Written as a pure ZSH script for speed. Extremely simple (directly looks up command in zsh `alias` association array).

```console
akash329d:~$ ls -aF
💡 Alias Tip: la
./ ../ .git/ zsh-alias-finder.plugin.zsh
```

## Customization

| Variable | Description | Default |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| ZSH_ALIAS_FINDER_PREFIX | Prefix used for aliased command display | `💡 Alias Tip: ` |
| ZSH_ALIAS_FINDER_SUFFIX | Suffix used for aliased command display (is displayed before alias) | `%F{green}` |
| ZSH_ALIAS_FINDER_IGNORED | Comma delimited string of ignored aliases | `''` |

Tip is displayed using [ZSH prompt expansion](https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Prompt-Expansion.html), so can use any supported visual effects.
