Defining Commands
Defining Commands and Aliases
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New commands can be created using `:define-command`.
See <<doc/pages/commands#declaring-new-commands,`:doc commands declaring-new-commands`>>.
They can be given additional short names depending of the scope with `:alias`.
See <<doc/pages/commands#aliases,`:doc commands aliases`>>.
Some helper commands are available to define composite commands.
See <<doc/pages/commands#helpers,`:doc commands helpers`>>.
Aliases
~~~~~~~
With `:alias` commands can be given additional names. Aliases are scoped, so
that an alias can refer to one command for a buffer, and to another for another
buffer. The following command defines `<alias>` as an alias for `<command>`:
--------------------------------
:alias <scope> <alias> <command>
--------------------------------
`<scope>` can be one of `global`, `buffer` or `window`.
-------------------------------------
:unalias <scope> <alias> [<expected>]
-------------------------------------
Will remove the given alias in the given scope. If `<expected>` is specified
the alias will only be removed if its current value is `<expected>`.

== Aliases
With `:alias`, commands can be given additional names.
As aliases are intended to be used interactively most of the time,
they are often short. For example `:reg` is an alias for `:set-register`.
They are scoped, so that an alias can refer to one command for a buffer,
and to another for another buffer. For instance `:next` could be an alias
for `grep-next-match` in a `*grep*` buffer while pointing to
`:make-next-error` in a `*make*` buffer.
The following command defines `<alias>` as an alias for `<command>`:
--------------------------------
:alias <scope> <alias> <command>
--------------------------------
`<scope>` can be one of `global`, `buffer` or `window`.
-------------------------------------
:unalias <scope> <alias> [<expected>]
-------------------------------------
Will remove the given alias in the given scope. If `<expected>` is specified
the alias will only be removed if its current value is `<expected>`.
