Globalias plugin

Expands all glob expressions, subcommands and aliases (including global).

Idea from: http://blog.patshead.com/2012/11/automatically-expaning-zsh-global-aliases---simplified.html.

Usage

Add globalias to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... globalias)

Then just press SPACE to trigger the expansion of a command you've written.

If you only want to insert a space without expanding the command line, press CTRL+SPACE.

Examples

Glob expressions

$ touch {1..10}<space>
# expands to
$ touch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

$ ls **/*.json<space>
# expands to
$ ls folder/file.json anotherfolder/another.json

Subcommands

$ mkdir "`date -R`"
# expands to
$ mkdir Tue,\ 04\ Oct\ 2016\ 13:54:03\ +0300

Aliases

# .zshrc:
alias -g G="| grep --color=auto -P"
alias l='ls --color=auto -lah'

$ l<space>G<space>
# expands to
$ ls --color=auto -lah | grep --color=auto -P

# .zsrc:
alias S="sudo systemctl"

$ S<space>
# expands to:
$ sudo systemctl
