How to add $desc for alias?

[oldfatcrab]

Hello,

I was wondering how/where I can add $desc for alias.

Below is tl;dr

I'm sometimes frustrated when using the git alias, there are too many g... alias I can choose (i.e. alias gpsup="git push --set-upstream origin $(git_current_branch)").

Attempt 0

I tried to just print it to the preview part using alias $word but it seems like it is loading a new session and won't load the alias.

So this approach won't work...

Attempt 1

Also tried to add some handling in fzf-tab.zsh#L77 but uncertain how I can access the $group info for each word or hit

I can use the external command type to have it implemented in a quick-and-dirty way, but the performance must be poor --> refer to this diff

click below for quick demo:

with a list of $__group will be much efficient

Attempt 2

Looked around the code to find where the descriptions are loaded/generated (seems it is generated from man for subcommands or --help for options) but no luck. I think this description is generated from somewhere else (i.e. not in fzf-tab)?

Any comments for attempt 1 and 2 and/or other approaches are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
