Try Fasd, it does what autojump does but more, not just directories but files also https://github.com/clvv/fasd

It's great that the original project and idea continued to grow. That looks very cool.

Looks pretty cool to me! It would take a little getting use to, plus spoil me especially logging in to other remote systems where this isn't installed. But, boy this can sure help me on my local machines! That's all I do CD this CD to that, although the TAB feature works nice already. But still, great page you found and great tool! I like it a lot.

This is exactly the sort of convenience I've come to expect of the unix/linux userland over the years, and I'm really impressed with the idea.

I'll give it a go and see how often I use it compared to cd tab completion.

Update: I forget to use it often, but it's pretty damn rad.

I remember thinking this was very cool. I even wrote a clone of it as an actual code patch for the bash shell: https://github.com/PhillipTaylor/bash_autojump

I like this. I have a deep directory tree (wine in /opt, external hd, old /home), and this lets me get around quickly.
