yalias: a GTK regexp-based command execution window
Adam Sampson <azz@us-lot.org>

yalias has a window with two buttons and a text widget. The left button
clears the widget (and is bound to the Escape key). The right button
matches the contents of the widget against a series of regular
expressions and executes a shell command based on the matches it can
find.

yalias reads two configuration files (if it can find them): first, the
system config (/usr/local/share/yalias/system.yaliasrc by default), and
second, $HOME/.yaliasrc. I suggest that you copy system.yaliasrc to
$HOME/.yaliasrc and edit it to suit your taste; the comments in the file
explain the various configuration commands available.

yalias requires GTK 2.0 or newer. To install yalias, type "make
install" (if you want to install to somewhere other than /usr/local,
type "make install prefix=/home/jru" or similar). To start yalias,
simply run "yalias &". To list the command-line options that yalias
supports, run "yalias -h".

Users at UKC will recognise yalias as being heavily influenced by the
interface of the xalias tool written by Godfrey Paul; it doesn't share
any code with the original.
