DESCRIPTION
       aka is an easy way to manage keyboard shortcuts in UNIX shells.

       You  can  replace  commonly used commands with shorter, sexier keyboard
       shortcuts and, ultimately, improve your productivity!

       With aka, you can add, show, edit, remove, list keyboard shortcuts.  On
       top  of that you can tag shortcuts based on environment, tool, context,
       etc. Then, you can generate an appropriate output file for  your  envi-
       ronment.

OPTIONS
       --help:
	      Show help info


       --version:

       --log-level=<debug|info|warn|error|fatal>:

EXAMPLES

	   alias ls="ls -F --color=auto"



       Add a keyboard shortcut for a bash/zsh function:



	   $ aka add psf "ps aux | grep $@" --function
	   Created shortcut.
	   $ aka generate
	   function psf {
	     ps aux | grep $@
	   }



       Generate to a file instead:



	   $ aka generate -o ~/.aka.zsh
	   Generated ~/.aka.zsh.



       Tag a shortcut and generate for OS X:



	   $ aka add ls "ls -F --color=auto" --tag os:linux
	   Created shortcut.
	   $ aka add ls "ls -FG" --tag os:darwin
