[resolved] call an alias inside a script, and a suggestion on help files |
It's a really simple question, but I can't find the answer through searching.
I have an alias:
"getAll"
which just does
"get all"
And I have a trigger:
"Aurora drops *"
and I want to call the alias, "getAll" as the reaction.
(the actual alias is more complex, so no suggesting to "get all" as a reaction to the trigger please!)
How do I call an alias from within a the script text?
-------------------
Also related: I'm new to zmud/cmud and I've noticed that it's impossible to find commands and syntax I'm looking for sometimes, unless I just look at the command list and guess which one to read about. I would suggest adding a "see also" or "related" section at the end of each reference file. So for example, the file for "#TRIGGER" could have a "see also" that directs you to "#T-, #T+, #UNTRIG, etc." This would make it much easier for new users to get to know the CMUD commands and syntax.
-----------------
Thanks,
Daarklord |

Usually all you have to do is have the alias name on a line by itself. In some cases you can do:
#EXEC {aliasName}
----------
The help files do have a related section already listed, take this example of: #HELP #TRIGGER

Ok thanks shalimar. I put the alias on a line by itself and it works.

Edit: nevermind, I just opened multiple instances of CMUD instead. It seems to do what I needed.
Next question is, I find it difficult to type Ctrl+Tab. I have multiple characters at at time and need to quickly switch between them, and the Ctrl key is difficult to reach from typing position. Can I customize the window switching to become something easy to reach like Alt+Tab or Alt+F? |

alt tab is windows by default, so doubt you can change that.. alt f would be file menu shortcut.. so, you'd have to find some other key that's not used, but likely you can set session hotkeys, possibly..
