autojump VS modern-unix

I also use zsh for years and did not know that. What I like this: Actually having completions shown in the screen and being able to navigate them with tabs. I think that is not a default behavior, but that is what oh-my-zsh does for you in its default setup. Does someone have more insight on that?

I did not know about this, but I use https://github.com/wting/autojump, so I am not super sad that I missed something that hold me back severely. But good to know.

Yes, I made a similar keybinding for xonsh, using fd and fzf. I press Alt-c, and fzf shows me all the subdirectories rooted where I'm at.

That's a good intermediary solution. But the one that totally changed my flow was to combine autojump[1] and fzf. autojump is similar to Z (this submission). It stores all the directories you've visited in an SQLite DB and can show them to you (ordered by visit frequency) with a command line argument. So I pipe that to fzf.

Now I can extremely quickly jump to any directory I've been to before - it really helps that they're sorted by visit frequency. I honestly use this more than any other approach - and I probably go for days on end without using the usual TAB autocompletion.

Not quite the same but you should check out autojump if you haven’t before: https://github.com/wting/autojump

I switched to linux recently and iam loving it the speed and CLI tools that linux provides are amazing you can do anything imaginable in the terminal i use Spotify in the terminal navigate very very fast using auto-jump and its just easier than navigating all those uis and using the keyboard for everything is way faster and easier on your hand than the mouse and keyboard combination especially if you use a window manager

If you're interested in these types of things take a look at https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z or https://github.com/wting/autojump

Have you tried autojump?

Dont forget to try Autojump (https://github.com/wting/autojump). Makes CDing to folders such a breeze

I would think so but here is a link for anyone that can't find it: https://github.com/wting/autojump

- Learning "modern" tools like ripgrep and fzf (There's a list here: https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix)

Nedavno mi je dobro dosla ova kolekcija toolova za unix https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix

A lot of the tools in the post build on top of standard unix tools and are like for like (better) replacements. Many of them have been pulled from the Modern Unix repo on Github.

Plug to modern unix, a collection of utilities that modernize "standard" nix utilities (combination of faster, prettier, easier to use, as well as sensible defaults like highlighting and line numbers when not piped).

I google something like "Modern Unix", open blogs, and try to find a "life-changing" tool that I haven't tried yet. Then I spend 1 day reading man how to apply this unreal tool to my current work environment setup. Ultimately, I'm sad because I wasted 1 day, but the process is fun enough to do it again tomorrow. This is like distro-hopping but tool-hopping. Now I have fzf, bat, helix, zoxide etc, but that's just the beginning of my tool-hopping :)

While this is not at all comprehensive of all the cool tools out there, there's this list which has a lot of modern alternatives to all of the modern Unix commands we know and love, most of which are written in Rust.

You might want to take some inspiration from https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix too! Neat website

Yeah, fine, since Go and Rust it is common to have this "one file app" that you put in $PATH and call it a day. Now, how many of those are not a single CLI utility (e.g. a replacement for top/ls/du or other UNIX utility), and are full blown GUI app? Not so many. None that I can think of from the top of my head, actually.

The UDM Pro looks nicer with modern Unix tools! Commit adding the tools (leveraging UniFi OS Utilities): GitHub commit adding the tools.
