simplejump

Overview

The simplest way to jump between directories.

Installation

pip install xontrib-simplejump

Motivation

I wanted a simple and efficient alternative to z, fasd and other jump scripts.

simplejump algorithm:

• on directory change: associate the base name to the full path of a dir in simplejump dict
• on user search: return the exact match or the smaller partial match from simplejump dict
• on tabcomplete: return the list of simplejump dict keys that match the command prefix
• on shell init: load the dict from simplejump file or an empty dict
• on shell exit: store the dict in simplejump file using json format

simplejump design:

• keys/names are case insensitive, values/paths are case sensitive

simplejump vars:

• simplejump file: $SIMPLEJUMP_FILE
• simplejump dict: $SIMPLEJUMP_DICT

simplejump file:

• simplejump file: ~/.simplejump

Example

simplejump [DIR]
