| | When making a trigger, in the match text you can do "(this|that)" to make the trigger match one word, or another word within the string. Is there a way to do this in the name of an alias so I could have an alias called "(raise|lower) *" so that I could make the alias fire with either word plus something to match the wildcard? "raise thing" "lower thing" would both fire the alias? | | Top |

| Yes, just make the alias a regular expression.
It would look like:
Since the thing you want to raise or lower is now the second capture you would act on wildcard 2, not wildcard 1.
Or you could do it like this:
Then the thing you raise or lower is now wildcard #1. |
