Aliases will not be expanded when the command in the expanded form is the same as the alias itself. e.g. if you have an alias `ls='ls -G'`, `ls` will not be expanded in the input editor.

</div>

## How to access it

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](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/command-palette/#how-to-access-it): Search for the “Enable/disable alias expansion” option and hit `Enter`.
