Hi, I want to make an alias that do something like this:

'e a b c' would send 'eat a b c loudly'
I've tried this:
alias: e
value: eat %1 loudly

This would give this:
'e a b c' would send 'eat a loudly b c'

See what I mean? it only sends the first word before 'loudly'.

%1, %2 etc represent the words entered after the alias name, if you want the entire ttext, you need to use %-1 which means 'all the parameters starting at the first one' (%-2 is all params starting at the 2nd one, etc.) - See the help to #ALIAS for more information.

So what you need is:
alias: e
value: eat %-1 loudly
