zsh-z VS nnn

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.

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

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)

If you want a file full browser experience choose nnn: https://github.com/jarun/nnn . If you have a desktop file for Helix you can use the Gnome Files program to make all your programming language files open in Helix.

The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

I like nnn ( n3 ).

The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.

nnn

git clone https://github.com/jarun/nnn cd nnn make O_NERD=1
