If you can't break your habit, you can always add a few lines near the top (before all the `release`-dependent switching) of your `nim.cfg`: @if r: #Allow short alias -d:r to activate fast release mode define:release @end Run
Perhaps somewhere you picked up a `$HOME/.config/nim.cfg` that does exactly this, and then lost it somehow moving between accounts/machines or maybe `nim.cfg` to `.nims`? There's surely also some similar Nim Script/`.nims` variant
