Autojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the command line. You need to work a little bit before the database becomes usable. Autojump will listen and rank your 'cd' commands by frequency. Once your database is reasonably complete, you can "jump" to a commonly "cd"ed directory. It supports the bash, zsh, and tcsh shells. Additional Installation Steps ------------------------------ Add the following to your .bashrc to enable autojump for your account: [[ -s /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh ]] && source /etc/profile.d/autojump.sh You must open a new shell for autojump to become active. You may also need to log in and out of your desktop environment. The default shell in Slackware is Bash. Further steps may be required for other shell environments. Example Usage -------------- $ cd /tmp $ cd /home $ cd /var $ cd /var/log $ j tmp $ j log $ jo /home $ j -s The "j" command drops you back into each directory. The "jo" command will launch a file manager for the home directory if you are using a graphical environment. Adding "-s" to the "j" command will list your autojump database. See the man page for further details.
