Call the grc graphic terminal for all commands implicitly

I like the grc graphics editor for the terminal. However, I have to explicitly attach everything I want with:

grc --config=conf.mine

Is there a way to automatically apply it to everything you type on the command line (so maybe I don't even need to know what grc is)? Perhaps using shells if there is no better alternative?

grc.bashrc and grc.zsh files using grc, since v1.9 does this (incomplete) by adding aliases for common commands:

grc.bashrc

 GRC=`which grc` if [ "$TERM" != dumb ] && [ -n "$GRC" ] then alias colourify="$GRC -es --colour=auto" alias configure='colourify ./configure' alias diff='colourify diff' alias make='colourify make' alias gcc='colourify gcc' alias g++='colourify g++' alias as='colourify as' alias gas='colourify gas' alias ld='colourify ld' alias netstat='colourify netstat' alias ping='colourify ping' alias traceroute='colourify /usr/sbin/traceroute' alias head='colourify head' alias tail='colourify tail' alias dig='colourify dig' alias mount='colourify mount' alias ps='colourify ps' alias mtr='colourify mtr' alias df='colourify df' fi

grc.zsh

 if [[ "$TERM" != dumb ]] && (( $+commands[grc] )) ; then # Prevent grc aliases from overriding zsh completions. setopt COMPLETE_ALIASES # Supported commands cmds=( cc \ configure \ cvs \ df \ diff \ dig \ gcc \ gmake \ ifconfig \ last \ ldap \ ls \ make \ mount \ mtr \ netstat \ ping \ ping6 \ ps \ traceroute \ traceroute6 \ wdiff \ ); # Set alias for available commands. for cmd in $cmds ; do if (( $+commands[$cmd] )) ; then alias $cmd="grc --colour=auto $cmd" fi done # Clean up variables unset cmds cmd fi

I tried this and it worked for me:

 alias ls="ls -FHG"
