I want to make an alias that automatically has a space after the command ...is there a character to do it with? I seem to remember being able to use ^ but it does not work anymore.
Thanks

'~' is the key you want.

#EXEC {say~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ }

That will force it to type say with seven spaces after it. Normally zmud will trim out any extraneous whitespace. There might be other ways to do this as well.

ok, I know that it is me, but it did not work... I enter 'sa' followed immediately by a name. no space and I get something like 'samike' if I used mike as the name. It is supposed to look like 'say to mike' I wrote it as 'say to~%1' should I have written it this way? #EXEC {say~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ } I know this is rudimentary but I am so grateful for the help and believe it or not I just love Zmud.
Thanks

#EXEC {say to %1} should work but otherwise #EXEC{say~ to~ %1}

Switch to a command input trigger:
#ONINPUT {^sa(*)$} {say to %1}
