ZSH Alias Finder

Simple ZSH plugin that will display an alias when you use a command you have aliased previously. Helpful for remembering aliases you have defined in the past.

Written as a pure ZSH script for speed. Extremely simple (directly looks up command in zsh alias association array).

akash329d:~$ ls -aF
💡 Alias Tip: la
./  ../  .git/  zsh-alias-finder.plugin.zsh

Customization

Variable	Description	Default
ZSH_ALIAS_FINDER_PREFIX	Prefix used for aliased command display	`💡 Alias Tip:`
ZSH_ALIAS_FINDER_SUFFIX	Suffix used for aliased command display (is displayed before alias)	`%F{green}`
ZSH_ALIAS_FINDER_IGNORED	Comma delimited string of ignored aliases	`''`

Tip is displayed using ZSH prompt expansion, so can use any supported visual effects.
