# Globalias plugin
2016-10-04 11:03:37 +00:00
Expands all glob expressions, subcommands and aliases (including global).
2016-10-04 11:03:37 +00:00
Idea from: https://blog.patshead.com/2012/11/automatically-expaning-zsh-global-aliases---simplified.html.
## Usage
Add `globalias` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
```zsh
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

$ touch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
$ ls **/*.json<space>
# expands to
$ ls folder/file.json anotherfolder/another.json
```
#### Subcommands
```
