cdhist VS lf

Consider also cdhist.

Again, not answering your question directly but you could consider using cdhist which allows FZF to search over all your previously visited directories.

Another option is cdhist which can work with fzf to fuzzy search over your directory history, rather than immediate directory paths. That is more useful to me.

I use ranger frequently also, e.g. for navigating around an unfamiliar directory tree to see what dirs and files are there. But cdist automatically keeps track of all directories I cd to and allows me to quickly jump back to any of them. Generally I work in various projects/dirs etc, and then just cd -- to switch between them (or I sometimes use fzf nowadays which can fuzzy search that cdhist history).

@wixig, can you please raise an issue on github for cdhist support. Not really appropriate here on reddit.

I've tried using LF in the past, but it didn't stick. Will definitely give this a go, as I'm trying to move to an pure terminal workflow as closely as possible.

Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.

in the Github page for lf under etc, you can find instruction for making such a function for bash and fish.

I recently discovered an amazing terminal file manager (lf). The package is available for most mainstream distros but not for openSUSE.

For me, the main program missing is "lf" the ranger inspired terminal file manager. 5000 stars on Github, packaged in the official repos for basically anything under the sun except Fedora and a key part in my day-to-day workflow. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf
