Aliases Editor¶

The aliases editor allows adding or editing custom aliases.

it can be opened by clicking Menubar -> Tools -> Edit Aliases or by pressing the ALT + D shortcut or by typing /edit -a.

The editor shares characteristics with all the other editors.

Defaults¶

When no alias ini file exists, AdiIRC internally uses some default aliases. When opening the alias editor in this case, AdiIRC inserts the defaults into the editor and the alias file is being edited/not saved, saving the aliases once creates the aliases ini file and the marking goes away.

Aliases format¶

The format of a alias is /name<whitespace><command>. If the command is gonna span multiple lines, the format becomes:

The leading / in /name is not necessary.

/name {
  /command1
  /command2
  ...
}
