z VS autojump

https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua was another that I used for a long time, although I've lately started using https://github.com/jethrokuan/z

A lot of reinventing the wheel in the z space it seems

z

Fish + Starship (https://starship.rs/) + z (https://github.com/jethrokuan/z). For me it is a really nice configuration, fast do do stuff & visually pleasant (it influences my comfort & motivation).

I use fish shell with z plugin to quickly jump to directories and nnn file manager mainly to select files for deletion. I also use dirbuf plugin for neovim when working inside this editor.

it also has a fish version https://github.com/jethrokuan/z

Use a directory jumper, so you don't have to keep cding all the time. I use z

https://github.com/jethrokuan/z Looks like it exists for fish, too

z for fish - Directory jumping

That reminds me of the fish z port...it does some fuzzy matching to get you quickly to frequently used dirs

Been using https://github.com/jethrokuan/z for a long time but yours looks nice! I'll definitely take a look at your search system.

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
