Original report

What's wrong?
Problem
nvim crashes terminal when launched via n bash function/alias.
When launched via SUPER + SHIFT + N, nvim opens fine.
Suspected cause
nvim calls a function in ~/.local/share/omarchy/default/bash/aliases:
n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then nvim .; else nvim "$@"; fi; }
This causes a recursive function where nvim calls itself endlessly. I changed it to:
n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then command nvim; else command nvim "$@"; fi; }
Which causes the function to exit its recursion and launch the actual editor.
Proposed solution
-n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then nvim .; else nvim "$@"; fi; }
+n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then command nvim; else command nvim "$@"; fi; }Testing
I have been using proposed solution for a number of days now without issue. I upgraded to Omarchy 3.3.3 this morning and the issue reappeared. I reapplied the proposed solution and the issue is gone.

### What's wrong?
### Problem
`nvim` crashes terminal when launched via `n` bash function/alias.
When launched via `SUPER` + `SHIFT` + `N`, `nvim` opens fine.
### Suspected cause
nvim calls a function in `~/.local/share/omarchy/default/bash/aliases`:
`n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then nvim .; else nvim "$@"; fi; }`
This causes a recursive function where nvim calls itself endlessly. I changed it to:
`n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then command nvim; else command nvim "$@"; fi; }`
Which causes the function to exit its recursion and launch the actual editor.
### Proposed solution
```diff
-n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then nvim .; else nvim "$@"; fi; }
+n() { if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then command nvim; else command nvim "$@"; fi; }
```
