fs-easymotion is a collection of bash functions to help navigate the filesystem using built-in *nix commands. Currently is has only been tested on zsh, but will eventually be updated to work on all the popular shells.
Inpsired by vim-easymotion, it tries to simplify navigation down to long lists with few keystrokes rather than long or repeated commands.
As of now fs-easymotion contains 3 functions sets, each for a different purpose:
- easycd.sh - navigate to higher directories without having to use ../../../.. repeatedly
easyCdUp- Displays pwd with highlighted characters. Navigate to a dir just by pressing the corresponding character.
- easyfind.sh - find files and directories quickly and open them quickly
easyFind [directory-to-search] <search-string>- find all files recursively in a folder that have the search-string in their filenameeasyFindOpen [directory-to-search] <search-string>- the above, plus asks for a line number of the file/directory you want to open
- easygrep.sh - find text in files and open their containing files quickly
easyGrep [directory-to-search] <search-string>- find all files recursively in a folder that have the search-string in their body texteasyGrepOpen [directory-to-search] <search-string>- the above, but asks for a line number of the file you want to open
Add the following line to the top of your zshrc, and set FSEM to where the files live:
FSEM=/location/to/fs-easymotion
source $FSEM/easycd.sh
source $FSEM/easygrep.sh
source $FSEM/easyfind.sh
Now you can either type the commands listed above in terminal, or alias them for fast access like I do. I suggest:
alias u='easyCdUp'
alias f='easyFind'
alias ff='easyFindOpen'
alias g='easyGrep'
alias gg='easyGrepOpen'
Currently, the files have the following configurable options.
- easycd.sh
EASYCD_REPLACE_FIRST_CHAR=1- whether or not to replace the first character of the dirs or just prepend it (default 1)EASYCD_SHOW_ROOT_AS_A=1- whether or not to show the root directory as 'a' (default 1)
- easyfind.sh
EASYFIND_IGNORE_CASE=1- 1 to ignore case, 0 to be case sensitive (default 1)EASYFIND_COMMAND_ON_FILE="$EDITOR"- the command to run on a selected file (defaults to $EDITOR or vim if unset)
- easygrep.sh
EASYGREP_IGNORE_CASE=1- 1 to ignore case, 0 to be case sensitive (default 1)EASYGREP_COMMAND_ON_FILE="$EDITOR"- the command to run on a selected file (defaults to $EDITOR or vim if unset)EASYGREP_GREP_OPTION="--color=always"- extra options to add to the grep command (default --color=always)
