would it be nice to have a general mechanism to execute commands with
just their inits?
maybe a command named “execute-extended-command-by-init” with a
keybinding.
e.g. i have lots aliases:
; shortening of often used commands
(defalias 'rn 'wdired-change-to-wdired-mode) ; rename file in dired
(defalias 'dj 'dired-jump)
(defalias 'g 'grep)
(defalias 'gf 'grep-find)
(defalias 'fd 'find-dired)
(defalias 'ntr 'narrow-to-region)
(defalias 'lml 'list-matching-lines2)
(defalias 'dml 'delete-matching-lines)
(defalias 'dnml 'delete-non-matching-lines)
(defalias 'sl 'sort-lines)
(defalias 'dtw 'delete-trailing-whitespace)
(defalias 'lcd 'list-colors-display)
(defalias 'rb 'revert-buffer)
(defalias 'sh 'shell)
(defalias 'ps 'powershell)
(defalias 'fb 'flyspell-buffer)
(defalias 'rof 'recentf-open-files)
; elisp
(defalias 'eb 'eval-buffer)
(defalias 'er 'eval-region)
(defalias 'ed 'eval-defun)
(defalias 'eis 'elisp-index-search)
; modes
(defalias 'hm 'html-mode)
(defalias 'tm 'text-mode)
(defalias 'elm 'emacs-lisp-mode)
(defalias 'vbm 'visual-basic-mode)
(defalias 'vlm 'visual-line-mode)
(defalias 'wsm 'whitespace-mode)
(defalias 'om 'org-mode)
(defalias 'ssm 'shell-script-mode)
(defalias 'cc 'calc)
(defalias 'rs 'replace-string)
plus about 40 more on personal commands...
«maybe a command named “execute-extended-command-by-init” with a

humm.. actually does that exist somewhere? seems not hard to write...
i guess i could write a command that take input and insert “*” between
letters than feed it to execute-extended-command?
