z is a wonderful complement to cd. After cd into a folders with z set up, a file stores all folders navigated to sorted by frecency, then simply jump to a folder with z [foldernameregex].
- dmd 13y agoz is absolutely wonderful. Even my boss has become a convert, and he's been hacking unix since the 1970s, when he worked at AT&T, and is very set in his ways. [Disclaimer: rupa's a good friend of mine]
- grimgrin 13y agoI've converted a few people to the z side. And yes, it is wonderful. [Disclaimer: rupa is a good friend of mine, as well]
- Fuzzwah 13y agoI was pretty excited about original link in this HN submission, but now I'm roughly twice as excited to learn about z. Love it. [Disclaimer: I don't know rupa at all]
- baohaojun 13y agoI have developed a very similar scheme for myself independently (haven't heard of z before, but thanks). A further idea is another command <code>e</code>, which is used like: <code>e reg1 reg2...</code>, and it will query z's database to see if there is a file in z's directory which matches the regs, and if found, open that file in Emacs. A similar command <code>f</code> will only print the path, so that <code>firefox $(f reg1 reg2)</code> will open the found file using firefox.
