I am not sure these are the best ways but they should work. You could do what you did with `Dimensions` for all the symbols in ``Combinatorica` `` For example, running this replaceAndLoad[context_String -> toContext_String] := Block[{$ContextPath}, Needs[context]; Scan[ToExpression[ toContext <> StringReplace[#, context ~~ sym__ :> sym] <> "=" <> #] &, Names[context <> "*"]] ] Now, do replaceAndLoad["Combinatorica`" -> "Com`"] You could also overload `MakeExpression` to change Com to Combinatorica at the parsing stage... But I would probably do something different and basic, like an `InputAlias` or `InputAutoReplacement`, or Ctrl+k, to type faster. If you use `InputAlias` or `InputAutoReplacements` you could even replace them with a framed box in a special color that means "context combinatorica", or a tooltip, or simply an `Interpretation` that writes ``Com`stuff`` but is interpreted as ``Combinatorica` ``...
