The aliases file could be generated upon installation by rs_command.pp, but after that it persists through updates. My custom edits remained when I went from 2.1.3 to 2.2.0, and when I reset application preferences.

If the two-letter aliases in rs_commands need to be there for Keycode Mode, I need to think about that a bit. That would mean that we will have a complete and permanent set of aliases, that must be two letters, for KM. That may become very limiting. I just tested this, changing the alias "li" to alias to "circle" in my alias file. Opened LC, turned KM off, used li, and it made a line. So the definition of "li" in rs_commands overrides any alias that is set on the user side. Fully populating the rs_commands file with two-letter aliases will block a LOT of aliases out from user customization.

Thanks for the insight into the structure of the rs_commands file.
