LinuxQuestions.org - Directory Bookmarker

After over a decade of looking at directory changers and bookmarkers (zoxide, fasd, autojump, etc), I decided to just write one.

It's for FISH, because that's what I use, and it uses FZF.

You just write out your list of directory "bookmarks" in ~/.sdirs. For example:

Code:

~/Videos

~/Downloads

The following then goes in ~/.config/fish/functions/j.fish:

Code:

function j

    if count $argv > /dev/null

        if set --local result (command cat ~/.sdirs | command fzf --select-1 --exit-0 --query $argv)

            cd (echo "echo $result" | sh)

        end

    else

        if set --local result (command cat ~/.sdirs | command fzf --select-1 --exit-0)

            cd (echo "echo $result" | sh)

        end

    end

end

Then you just enter "j" for a menu, or, "j D" to jump to ~/Downloads.

These are what I looked at to get it done:

If you'd rather have it for BASH or Zsh, well, that's left as an exercise for the reader.
