Question

I am using a single module a lot in the Erlang shell. Is there any shortcut that will enable me to omit the module: prefix when typing in commands?

Answer 1

You can extend the shell commands by defining a user_default module:

-module(user_default).

-export([seq/2]).

seq(A,B) -> lists:seq(A,B).

Make sure the compiled module is in your code path.

Eshell V5.7.5  (abort with ^G)
1> seq(1,4).
[1,2,3,4]
