This tiny script, inspired by fzf-marks, can be used to navigate folders in Bash. It is based on the command-line fuzzy-finder fzf written by Junegunn Choi. Although the script is very short and simple, it is very convenient and can very quickly become an important part of your workflow.
Instead of listing just a hardcoded list of bookmarks, this lists the directories in the current directory, and the directories on the pushd stack.
fzf is required to use this plugin. Once this condition is met, it is sufficient to source the script from your shell configuration file.
Most of the key mappings in the search window are the default fzf ones. The most relevant ones are:
- Enter to accept a match.
- ctrl-c do nothing.
- ctrl-f recursively jump into selection.
- ctrl-b recursively jump into the parent directory (
..). - ctrl-g flip to the next directory on the
pushdstack. - ctrl-h jump into the directory being listed, not the selection.
- ctrl-x change to the directory exactly as typed
In Bash, the script creates a commands:
- jump to jump to a given bookmark using fzf.
- You can bind this to a shortcut in your configuration files, for example using
bind '"\C-g":" jump\n"'. I recommend prefixing the command with a space, so jump will not appear in your history if you haveHISTCONTROL=ignorespaceset.
