Emacs equivalent of: v, "z for vim"
This is the package I am talking about. https://github.com/rupa/v

kn 0.1.0 | My `cd` alternative. Navigate by typing abbreviations of paths.
I guess grouping v with the others isn't technically accurate/fair. It's specifically for vim, it basically looks at recent files you've edited and does the same thing that the other tools do, to open a match. Anyway, it's here: https://github.com/rupa/v

I did something similar but based on matching abbreviations:

Ask HN: Tools you have built for yourself?
https://github.com/micouy/kn - Like `cd` but with abbreviations. Or like `z` but based on string similarity, not on location history.

Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?
https://github.com/micouy/kn - `cd` alternative like `z` but based on comparing abbreviations against paths with https://crates.io/crates/powierza-coefficient, not on frecency. I've completely replaced `cd` for over a year. A while ago nushell reimplemented this functionality using my Powierża coefficient.
