Title: Is There A Hotkey To Assign To Open "Manage Aliases Editor" Dialog Box ?
Post by: total_annihilation00 on October 07, 2025, 12:28:28

I'm looking to assign a custom hotkey (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+A) to open the Manage Aliases dialog directly via scripting or a user-defined command. This dialog is heavily used, but I couldn't find an option to bind it in Keyboard Customization.

I've attempted to invoke it using various scripting methods such as:

• MC.OpenAliasManager()
• Core.Config("ManageAliases")
• MC.RunCmd(50178) (where 50178 is the menu command ID for the Alias Manager)

However, none of these approaches successfully open the dialog via a hotkey. Is there a reliable way to trigger the Alias Editor through a hotkey or scripting command?

Don't think 50178 is correct. anyway..

Create a UserDefinedCommand  of type : Internal Command

and select "MultiCommaner (base)" as module
and "Manage aliases" as command
