autojump VS zsh-z

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

I think that covers your description, and a great folder jumping plugin is zsh-z.

I'll just add that if you ever have a reason to try an alternative to zoxide, I've been very happy with zsh-z.

It has radically improved my workflow in the same way that zsh-z did for me a couple years ago: it reduces the cognitive load of having to remember where things are.

zshell-z Even simpler and more flexible.

z to jump to recent directories

if you are using zsh try https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z

git clone https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-z

z (https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z), similar to cdr but scores EVERY directory you ever gone into, to sort by frecency (mix of frequency & recency), paired to fzf it's a beast to navigate to a directory (I hardly ever use cd to traverse directories nowadays)
