When alias expansion is enabled, type an alias and then hit Space to expand the alias.

To insert a space without expanding an alias, the default keybinding is Option+Space.

Alias expansion is disabled by default. There are two ways to toggle this on and off:

  • From Settings: Navigate to Settings > Features > Terminal Input and toggle “Expand aliases as you type”.
  • From the Command Palette: Search for the “Enable/disable alias expansion” option and hit Enter.
