I'm using $& a lot to keep the horizontal scrollbar from showing so I can edit the code without having to scroll. Edit: Here's two aliases that anyone can use to see if it happens to them: Code: alias testing { if ($false) { $& echo -a bug } } alias testing2 { if ($true) { $& echo -a bug } } /testing gives the /if error, /testing2 echo's "bug".

Code: alias testing2 { if ($true) $& { echo -a bug } } alias testing { if ($false) $& { echo -a bug } } edit: although as you know, you can already split lines after a bracket without the need for $& Code: alias testing2 { if ($true) { echo -a bug } } alias testing { if ($false) { echo -a bug } } Last edited by Splatted; 19/02/05 01:46 AM.
