A new zsh plugin for finding z abbreviations
Currently zabb mainly supports the zoxide implementation of z. It works ok with z.lua, fasd and z, but may not find the shortest abbreviations for those. It may work for other implementations if they support the z -e command. I welcome PRs to expand zabb to other implementations.

env::set_current_dir() -- is either not functioning as intended or I'm just messing something up
Indeed, utilities like zoxide which operate primarily as a cd replacement don't attempt to change directories via rust code - they create a shell alias that ultimately invokes a shell builtin to do it.
