Getting tsconfig "paths" path aliases to work with Angular using tsc-alias

If you look around you'll find quite a few people complaining that Angular CLI doesn't work "out of the box" with path aliases for the TypeScript compiler.

Fortunately the handy tool tsc-alias will run the rule over your compiled output and replace the still-present path aliases from your dev codebase with correctly resolved relative paths.

This tool mostly works correctly out of the box, but there are a couple of frustrating gotchas:

1. Angular sets up custom tsconfig.json files everywhere (eg tsconfig.lib.json). Tools such as ESLint etc don't love this practice and the TypeScript compiler itself doesn't recognise these files or apply their "paths" aliases correctly.

This does turn out to be quite annoying.

I have just spent some time fossicking through all the various answers to this and have found a combination of things that is working for me nicely on Mac OS Ventura.

How to get a real Compose key on OS X Ventura

1. Install the so-called "U.S. Custom" keyboard layout

This is just a "playground" custom keyboard layout for doing exactly what we're going to do, namely setting up a typical Linux style Compose key for an English keyboard.
