      MariaDB [(none)]> alias
      		 
      alias x = 'select 1'
      		 
      MariaDB [(none)]> x;
      		 
      +---+
      		 
      | x|
      		 
      +---+
      		 
      | 1 |
      		 
      +---+
      		 
      # Remove alias

            anel After discussing with serg, we believe the idea has its merit. Can you pick up this task when there isn't anything else burning and see if you can make use of Nirbhay's PR and address Svoj's comments?

            Then assign it to me for Review.

            Will there be implemented a shortcut /a ? How will an alias be removed?
            I like the way https://www.mycli.net/favorites is doing it with explicit commands for saving and removing and alias. I also think that the term "favorite" matches the use case better.

            Hi ralf.gebhardt,
            have updated the description.
            There has been some work on argument passing, but will take a look of shortcuts.
