How to map :Ag command to :ag

Question

I am using the plugin ag.vim in Vim, and I want to do a simple re-mapping.

When I run ag with :Ag I want remap it to :ag so I don't have to use shift.
example: :ag string_to_find instead of :Ag string_to_find

How can I do this?

You shouldn't. Lowercase commands are reserved for built-in commands, and the norm/rules are to start custom commands with an uppercase character (just like with functions).

See Is it possible to remap an Ex command in Vim (remap :Ack to :ack)?

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but dding the following will allow you to just type 'ag' to search:

map ag :Ag

Welcome to SO! If this is not what the OP asked for, and the post is 2 years old, I wonder why this would be posted as an answer? See the [how to answer page](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-answer) for help understanding what an answer is. – Madness Aug 27 '15 at 15:36

EDIT: The downvoters are right and this is a bad answer. I'll leave it here so future searchers know it's wrong.

Try:

command: Ag ag

See :help command for more.

No, don't remap custom commands to lowercase. If anything use a combination of leader. – timss Jun 10 '13 at 12:55
