Scopes

TIP

These are the legacy v4 docs. For other versions, use the links in the header dropdown.

A given abbreviation can be limited to the current zsh session (i.e. the current terminal) —these are called session abbreviations— or to all terminals —these are called user abbreviations. Select commands take scope as an argument.

Newly added user abbreviations are available to all open sessions immediately.

Default is user.
