const eAliasMenu = 8192 ' this alias appears on the alias menu

Uhh... WHAT alias menu?!
There's an alias menu?

OK, I found it... Talk about undocumented features... I didn't even know there was such a menu! That rocks! By the way, how do we add a menu separator and submenus? :p
If you could make a structure where scripts/plugins could add their aliases in submenus, it would be great.

Also, what happens with wildcards? Do they just get set to ""?

Also, is it only possible for it to call script functions? Can't it call plugins? It would be awesome if my plugins could each have its own submenu with a list of commands in it...

From memory, if a plugin installs an alias with a menu, then the script that is called is looked for in that plugin, thus a plugin can install its own alias menus.

However submenus and separators are not supported.

I tried it with a plugin, and it couldn't find the sub to call. Can't you make it support separators or submenus? I think this feature has a lot of potential.
